Our ancestry is future and present, and we are many bodies in dense, intense, erotic, fraternal relationships.
There is an annulment of linear time, of concrete space, and this cry takes place in a misaligned but precise narrative, with the geographies of our past and future histories. They are our great-grandmothers, grandmothers, mothers and ourselves, daughters of a story that has to be rewritten, because whoever told it didn’t have the truth, only the power. These bodies are politicians, they celebrate, desire, rebel, love, protest. They are working bodies, violent bodies, poetic bodies, pleasure bodies. Bodies that are not conformed and formatted. This is such an ancient time that we still haven’t found it ahead.
