How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
Thought and action, writing and protesting. A chat with Nat Raha, KUCHENGA and Jackie Wang asking what can be learnt from writing across genres by agitators, activists and abolitionists?
