Motto
Becoming is a question of undoing the structures of domination by careful, patient revisitations, re-adjustments, micro-changes. A long apprenticeship to minute transformations, through endless repetitions, will replace the illusion of a royal road to the revolution or of one single point of resistance, and assert instead the constant flows of met(r)amorphoses. Becoming is a nomadic kind of revisitation or remembering which traces empowering transversal lines that cut across the staticity of sedimented memory, activating it by de-programming it out of the dominant mode. Becomings are creative work-in-progress processes. Like a text by Gertrude Stein, set to music by Philip Glass and performed by Diamanda Galas, it is the kind of refrain that sticks and keeps on returning: the sort of thing that one, quite simply, forgot to forget.
