Volatile substances change easily;
they spread, smear, and adapt beyond their given space.
Volatile substances take over; beyond geography and architecture.
Some are thick and visible, some invisible even lethal.
Imagine volatile, elastic bodies, pliant self-identity and flexible cultural norms.
Volatile subjects: resilient, fierce, unapologetic.
A collective breath can fill any room.
Volatility is a play -a chance- on adaptability.
During hardship, our capacity to adapt, question and propose- so vital.
The spacing between the lines, the breathing while reading out loud.
And the air so thick we can’t breathe. The air so thick we take movement up on our hands.
while here, a space to gather,
with the uncontained.
