How to stay vulnerable?
Today I stood in front of the easel for some time.
I felt clumsy.
Drawing without knowing the end result, without grasping the form, with only the moment of doing — that is not unlike performance, and perhaps one way to stay vulnerable.
game
Choose from the deck of cards. This will be your activity. (Criteria for the activity: it must be easy to accomplish at the location or leads to a clear destination.)
Draw something you remember from your home space in silence. When you are done, tell me about it.
Call someone you miss.
Choose a picture from FB/IG posted by someone from home. Tell me about it.
Take to me an eatery with the kind of food you miss. Let's eat something you like.
Take me grocery shopping. What are the ingredients of a dish you miss eating/cooking? Let's eat a meal together.
Take me to a place in this city that reminds you of home.
