It's very clear to a lot of us that we need to be building another world, a different world,

a world where practices of care and consent and accountability are at the core.

I wanted to listen to water. I wanted to think through

world making, pushing back against colonialism and genocide and racial capitalism and this moment

that we're sharing and coming up with alternatives. So water is a being that we all have a

relationship to and with. It's inside our

bodies. It's outside our bodies. Water changes forms from a solid to a liquid to a gas. It expands

our understanding of time. It always escapes the container and it connects us all. Listening to water and thinking through

world making means that we have to collaborate with each other and we have to share our different

perspectives and different knowledges in terms of building against this this present moment. And

that's a struggle, but it's a relational struggle

to give birth to something different. Sorry. All my relations.
