The magic of coming together

this is who i am as a performer and artist. (a list from up to down, left first, then right)

a shapeshifter, hoarder, documenter. a knot, patchwork, forger. sponge, a desirer & dreamer. a piece of music. bob the builder. the wrong note. an eel, a noodle, asparagus.

under construction. stitching and weaving, solid enough. a river, permeable. queer af, open windows, a feminist creator, encryption. a'G;Lllllllllllllllliiiitc****#h waiting. system overload. fail beautifully. unstill, caring, &          

what inspires me is a combination of elements that don't seem to fit. my friends. art (TheThingThatIFoundOnTheStreetTheOtherDay). a, l, c, t < 3 . Sufjan Stevens. my grandparents' letters. Khadija El Kharraz Alami. Glitch Feminism (by Legacy Russell). the way anyone dances when they don't think about dancing. Yoann Bourgeois. non-violent work environments. The Magic of Coming Together (that's what ashley and i call the moment when suddenly everything makes sense). transferring analogue documents into Numbers and using Instant Alpha. Mette Ingvartsen. hesitation. confidence. the time I climbed a mountain from its foot, accidentally, without any equipment. Ocean Vuong. you're stuck but then the knot goes puffffffff and you (:

songs for friends: a vinyl (ashley ho + domenik naue)

is an album we're making for you. Two people are skipping across time, skipping rope through time. This is a record of loss, and also growing up, which is almost the same thing. Our dismantled memories shape speculative realities, through which we navigate dissociation and change.

I wish for a future in which we dare to dream. of beautiful, transmogrifying, throbbing worlds, in which we're licking each other's wounds, where we meet each other with care and not distance.
