Propositions and Reflections
<This is how the days were supposed to go in our intentions, in the proposition shared when we conceived in our heads the red thread that were to connect all the tools - and before our bodies and our different subjectivities really “really” met. What happened and what did not happen, and what “I/ WE” thought of what should have happened, and what other people shared it should have NOT happened—in this chapter as in other chapter—is a different story.>
The summer session of Free Home University will explore how to use personal narratives to reflect on History and imagine a new ‘SHEstory’—a term we coined as a way to queer the feminist concept of “herstory”—convivial and embodied research, collective dreaming, storytelling, writing and performing, bridging western and non-western systems of knowledge will be some of the practices the group will experiment with.
