    whose imagination are you living in?

    whose imagination are you living in?

    In a remote location north of the Bay Area we didnt so much escape reality as re-create it. The landscape — the fog, the tall trees, the fields dotted with craters and other land art — was a canvas that we played with projecting onto. For two weeks (the length of our residency) we got to live inside of our own imaginations. (Whose imagination are we living in normally? What are we subtly taught to fear? To worship?) In our utopic visions art and queers and femmes have power. Our utopia is creative and collaborative and fun.

    On the sun porch, we listened to BUFU — our interviews with Kat, Jazmine, Tsige, and Sonia last summer — and heard more signs of utopic scheming & also signs of emergence, the theory of political organizing popularized by the writer and activist adrienne maree brown. Actually, it was BUFU who first told us about Emergent Strategy, when we were just starting to make our own forays into collective organizing and programming.

    adrienne says imagination is a battle. So whose imagination are you living in?

    And whose will win?

    WHITE DRAG

    WHITE DRAG

    Spring 2017: NK went to a panel at the California African-American Museum in Los Angeles. The dancer Taisha Pagget was in conversation with the curator Erin Christovale, and Taisha told Erin how her ballet training had institutionalized the natural rhythm out of her. Which made NK think about her own experiences in a graduate writing program — how her writing developed a double consciousness, and how she started going to parties in a cheap blonde wig and hot pink lipstick, a costume which she eventually called WHITE DRAG. This is her experience of literary passing.

    Original writing by Nicole Kelly. Produced by Elyssa Dudley.

    Against the Couple Form #3: VULNERABILITY

    Against the Couple Form #3: VULNERABILITY

    "Make love. Anything can be sex. The body is rich and varied in its parts and sensations. So many ecstasies have yet to be felt. Get away from the genital organisation of ‘sexuality.’"

    The rules:
    everything is negotiable
    domination is care
    ask for what you want
    get a yes
    be honest

    This is how we learned to get uncomfortably close. VULNERABILITY is part 3 of a three part series on our search for solidarity and intimacy.

    Against the Couple Form #2: INTIMACY

    Against the Couple Form #2: INTIMACY

    "Libidinal flows cut through the social world.”

    Desire, sensuality, romance, sex — they dont exist in a vacuum, somehow free from the politics that dictate our public lives.

    "Desire flows and circulates amongst places of employment, intellectual debates, political organizing, artistic circles, playgrounds, and cemeteries.”

    Post-couple form, we began to look elsewhere for connection. In this episode we’re guided by our burning questions: Can touching your friends be sensual, without being sexual? Can friendships be fluid — romantic one day, and not the next? What is the boundary between friendship and romance? Is there a boundary at all?

    INTIMACY is part 2 of a three part series on our search for solidarity and intimacy.

    This episode includes excerpts from “Against the Couple Form” by Clemence X. Clementine & Associates from the Infinite Venom Girl Gang [LIES Vol. I], voiced by Mandy Harris Williams. Music compliments of LINAFORNIA (@linafornia) and Chioma the Audio Artist (@chiomaaudioart) Mastering by Kora Colasuonno (@please_go_vegan)
