In this episode, we share a poem and an interview from our curriculum session hosted by Samoa House Library in the context of our recent exhibition, Distance is a blade, curated by Amy Weng. The poem, In the Animal Garden of My Body, by Marci Calabretta Cancio-Bello, and the interview between Hans Demeyer and Lauren Berlant, Intimacy as World-Making, both orbit themes of memory, intimacy, and affective forms of myth-making that were central to the exhibition.
