Quotes by Gabeba Baderoon (?)

“Mapping As travellers, drawing lines from place to place, we copy the nervous conceit of mapmakers. We crop the edges of our worlds like failed photographs, but our discarded parts, with their uncertain shifts from inside to outside, show that definiteness is only the edge of desire.”
― Gabeba Baderoon, The Dream in the Next Body

“The Dance Once in a museum I stood at the entrance to a room looking at Matisse’s Dance. A man walked in front of me, stopped. He tilted his head, as though listening more than seeing and, for a moment, I saw the dance pass through his whole body.”
