this #thinkingblackoutloud session is from 2017 ... it was a meditation on the necessity of thinking through the dialectical processes inherent in the react/respond relationship [shout out to The Fifth Dynasty] . it is our consistent call to think beyond struggle, as we know what we are struggling against. we must simultaneously understand what we are struggling for. it's a prompt to find guidance in the world we see in art. we hear in music. we taste in our favorite foods. to see the beauty in struggle. and the beauty that comes out of struggle. the world in spaces between spaces. the world that moves our unconsciousness to consciousness.
