How do you identify yourself? From where do you draw your sense of being? Who are you speaking to, who are you speaking with? In a way, this relates to the age-old social science tendency to identify positionality (name, pronouns, ethnicity, etc) but doesn’t have to follow any of those formulas.
What are you thinking about? What do you intend to demonstrate, share, or disseminate through these works and spaces? E.g. poetry, mutual aid, other expressions that you choose
Speak to your motivation to do these things, in these ways, at this time: what are the relationships you are wishing to name, grow, and extend? Whose work or influence (Human or otherwise) is speaking to you now?
Describe time, space, location—whether this is internal to you, or composed/rooted in you and expanding to the external. As folks enter your space (digital or otherwise) what are the surroundings and how can they be made comfortable (or not)? What is translatable and what is not? How to acknowledge and respect that which is not transmitted in digital space?
We have spoken about futures. In some ways this prompt is about futures …and necessarily asks you to be clear about what you mean by “future” – how to take the pain and frustration of the current moments and alchemize them into a healed future? What is the energy of that?
This prompt is dependent on the “what” above. What are you talking about here, and how are you demonstrating – poems, videos, vignettes, reflections---these are all part of the “How” potentially
What else comes up for you as you are organizing your thoughts and material?
