The text selection and our reading choreography in June was made by artist **Katarina Jazbec** (1991, Slovenia), a Rotterdam-based visual artist. In 2016, she filmed Our Bearings, a short about reading together with the female members of her family at the cave close to her home village. She continued her fascination for reading with the inmates of a Belgian prison in Permeating Hearts (2018). Her most recent short You Can’t Automate Me (2021) about harbour workers, art of poetic movement and stowaway animals premiered this month at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. Katarina builds heterotopias and looks for new forms of storytelling while exploring the urgent questions of ethics, identity, agency, and pitfalls of our current dominant economy.

This Read session will be overflown with no bullshit tales on living and dying together on damaged earth. How are we to live in the ruins with the dead and the living? Arundhati Roy’s ghost vultures and Anjum, a Muslim Hijra, in her opening chapter of The Ministry of Utmost Happiness and The Camille Stories in the closing chapter of the Staying with the Trouble by Donna J. Haraway, speculative fabulations, will render us capable of response in disturbing times. Be careful, to read about and follow the five future generations of Camille People and the Monarch Butterflies, until the year 2425 when human numbers are largely reduced, even if coated in the context of science fiction, is not an innocent undertaking. Before you know it you’ll be deep down your knees in the compost.
