“There isn't a language for what we are living in. We need our own vocabulary, not just new forms in literature and art...I cross the square towards the university thinking about this, my next letter to A, how I will write to him about the feeling of being muted. Not having a language, gestural. How do you even initiate intimacy or the expression of desire?”
― Yasmine El Rashidi, Chronicle of a Last Summer
