Someone gave me this Jules Laforgue poem from an obscure book long out of print:
J’aurai passé ma vie le long des quais
A faillir m’embarquer
Dans de bien funestes histoires,
Tout cela pour l’amour
De mon coeur fou de la gloire d’amour.
Oh, qu’ils sont pittoresques les trains manqués!
Oh, qu’ils sont « A bientôt! à bientôt! »
Les bateaux
Du bout de la jetée!
De la jetée bien charpentée
Contre la mer,
Comme ma chair
Contre l’amour.
As part of Earthcraft, the new edition of Studium Generale KABK, Victoria McKenzie and Jasper Griepink will lead a conversation on soil, the sacred, futurism, and a critical unpacking of the notion of “manifesting.”
Mayıs Rukel and Lina Bravo Mora, as Radical Roots, will join Narges Mohammadi to host a session on the grief food of our intersecting diasporas: halva.
You can learn more about the event here.
The Pendant will be screened at Filmhuis Den Haag as part of What You See Is What You Get Cinema’s program Glued & Screwed 5.
"The programme stitches together five films that make hard-to-digest subjects like power dynamics or the current and impending life, approachable and even funny. Five different acts in five different places expose shades of magic, politics, and systemic violence in Mayis Rukel’s The Pendant."
