“In practice, to develop a political project of prefiguration implies a continual process of daily implementation, internal struggle, and an endless cycle of learning and adaptation. The struggle for social change is not an event looming on the horizon but an ongoing process.”
― Robinou, Queer Communal Kinship Now!

“Queer is about desire (not only sexuality): the force of becoming other. Communal is about practice (not only theory), about doing: the performative machine of our conceptual apparatus, the potency to iterate change. Kinship is the process of iteration itself: the focus of an extended political project that takes over the family institution and counteracts the limited scope of short-termist political formations. Queer is utopian, communal is prefigurative, and kinship is (re)productive. Queer should be used as a mindset, communal as a method, and kinship as a focus. Queer opens (difference), communal generates (pragmatism), kinship activates (imagination). Taken together as a conceptual melting pot producing a synthetical sensibility, QCK is an affinity — one could say a “structure of feeling” — for non-referential performative acts of association driven by an ethical sensitivity.”
