Intimacy is a powerful feeling that can disarm our cold cold hearts.
Intimacy is a tactic to create an imaginary and temporary space.
Intimacy is a way to create a space for ‘us’.
Intimacy is a strategy to encourage caring minds and embrace otherness.
Intimacy is an ambivalent space, not only embracing positive feelings but also negative ones.
Intimacy is about practicing slowness.
Intimacy is about paying attention to the fragilities around us.

Intimate Publishing in Practice

Minor Stories
Minor Stories is a multi-method publishing project giving space to vulnerable and intimate feelings that people experience yet often brush aside. In this project, I intend to share vulnerable feelings in the format of storytelling and explore various intimate storytelling methodologies encompassing many forms: from physical props to digital technologies. By doing so, I will propose intimate ways of storytelling as a careful and affective publishing methodology, which I term ‘intimate publishing’. How will people react if I whisper stories of my ugly-competitive side through the body of bread? (Figure 1) What kind of thoughts and emotions will occur if they read marginalized experiences from the gutter of a book? Will people open up and share their intimate stories as well? How can I disarm our cold, cold hearts and allow us to be more curious and caring? Can intimate publishing provide methods that shift audience and storyteller from a binary opposition of 'you' and 'me' to 'we' to make space for minor stories?
small, clumsy, and intimate devices for awkward hybrid settings / with grgr
With grgr, we prepared the pad for the workshop which worked as a script to facilitate the workshop.
Description of the Workshop:
Wait. How are hybrid settings actually affecting the way we sense others’ presence in public events? How can we bring intimacy when hybrid media interrupt instead of facilitating modes of togetherness? In this three-hour workshop, participants can build their own small, clumsy, and intimate devices to hijack the idea of hybridity. The devices will be physically built to be used during the following ‘plenary closing sessions’, both online and offline.

Hello, tomorrow is Wednesday and it's the Breakfast Club day ٩(^‿^)۶ / with grgr and many others
"The Breakfast Club (TBC)... is a collective morning ritual happening almost every Wednesday from 9:30-11:00 at the corner of XPUB studio. Its intention is to bring XPUB 2 together who will focus more on individual works for the upcoming year, but it's open to others. During TBC, we share coffee, have breakfast together, wake up, daydream and talk about STUFFS." (https://hub.xpub.nl/soupboat/breakfast-club/)
[FAQ.] Q. What is the STUFF we are going to talk about? Anything! Since it's a weekly thing, 'the STUFF' depends on what occupies our minds. If you are curious about what happened during the previous breakfast club(s)... so far, we read some excerpts of your favorite books or shared our struggles on a graduation project or writing a thesis. Oh, sometimes we didn't even talk that much and instead did dishes and cleaned the studio. We'd like to invite you to TBC also as an occasion to get to know each other, as it doesn't happen so often to meet up across masters. [excerpts from PIET, the zine made by PZI-Archipelago]
Some thoughts 🤔 and highlights☀️
- making the weekly poster: depending on the mood, or workload, either one of us, grgr or chae, made the weekly poster. it was the perfect excuse(?) for me to revisit all the pictures i took and curate "the breakfast club poster material". Some of the constraints were... (1) use pictures in my album (mostly taken by me or grgr, but sometimes a picture by someone else) (2) do not open the computer (3) use telegram drawing tools, photo editing tools on your phone, or sometimes Instagram story editing tools to draw.
- What does it mean to build a habit? Maybe a little bit of force is good: It's like right before you go to the gym, yoga, or swim... you know you would love it, but right before going, you think 'Ugh, I have other things to do... Maybe i can skip just this weekkkk....' But whenever I felt this way, erica would text me Tuesday night "hey, shall i make the poster?"
- when it's combined with outside(?) events/communities: Such as... (1)the International Trans ★ Feminist Digital Depletion Strike @VARIA (2)education morning with Lidia and Joseph (3)joined TBC, the breakfast club open for all the masters, together with PZI-Archipelago group
- I reflected a lot on what it means to host something every week involving others' participation. You cannot expect others to join every week. Some days are full, and some days not so much. Hmm, I don't know, sometimes I felt responsible to go to the studio, turning on the breakfast club lamp, and just being there.
- the importance/power of cleaning: Usually, when no one is at the studio I would start the breakfast club with cleaning.
