This week, my research on intergenerational silence between women, took a rather tactile turn. I began to embroider the essay.

When I came to Switzerland, I carried with me a few odd kinds of silences. The residency was kind enough to afford these to me as a research question that I could then carry in the palm of my hand, like a rare, exotic, regional flower from homeland. But what it really was, was an …

Read MoreMy second week here had me see the tiny shoot of my new pursuit sprout out. Very fresh and mint, I saw tiny ideas surface with either a lawn or a forest, somewhere, within it. My walks around the city found me strolling into a very large fabric store several times and I bought myself …

I’ve hiked nearly every weekend, and sometimes during the week, through my residency. When I got to Winterthur in April 2023, hiking was not on my radar. It started as a fun way of getting out of the studio and going to places I’d never visited. And so I took myself off to Walensee in …

This blog is long overdue, and for the next few days, I am going to revisit key moments from the last few weeks of my residency. My last blog post was from the week before I travelled to Bern to attend a theatre festival, auawirleben, alongside a workshop on theatre and race at the University …
