now part of the Center for Liberatory Practice & Poetry’s Library Collection
Tereza Silon and Kathryn Fischer are delighted to have textual documentation of their work, Sinews: holding our sh*t together, accepted by the Center for Liberatory Practice & Poetry’s Resource Library. Sinews: holding our sh*t together is an immersive sound piece and physical space for deep listening. weaving together over 100 clips of voice notes left between Silon and Fischer over the course of several years, the piece documents the feminist practice of care across kilometers, through sharing and listening, witnessing joys and tears.
The library collection of works of poetry, mutual aid and study guides, magazines, artworks, and independent publications, is grouped across the following themes: Access, Anarchy, Breath, Black Feminism, Care, Cooperative, Decolonization, Disability Justice, Experiments, Rage, Theory, Translation, Poetry, Memory, Movement, and Queer. In organizing various projects across open-ended themes, the Center for Liberatory Practice & Poetry hopes to encourage library visitors to encounter new materials, authors, and groups they are unfamiliar with.
Find out more about where Sinews has been exhibited here. In the resource library you can find it categorized under #queer #poetry #community and #cooperative
