As if to Make Up for the Noise Made on Earth (2025)

'As if to Make Up for the Noise Made on Earth' is a poetic invitation consisting of fragments of texts pasted on walls and windows, rolled out on banners and hidden in codes. It questions whether anything really changes but asserts that a different world is possible nonetheless. Employing street tactics of (is)lands that are neither this or that, it encourages visitors to engage in a type of time-traveling that for those descending from occupation and abduction is a matter of everyday life. This solar system is speaking to you, even if you aren't listening. It tells of unspeakable things carried in its oceans and winds. An ancient planet is believed to be dying, but we are the only ones running out of time. The problem is that this 'we' is not a monolith, but always dependent on the creation and subsequent targeting of the racialized. The regime creates its counterpart and then tries to get rid of it. But you are proof that this strategy will never fully succeed. Your ancestors were engineered to prevent a revolution, but now you are part of one. Echoes of squatted buildings and anti-imperialist leaders live on beyond their eviction and assassination. So let's drift off to songs inherited. Let's listen to the many quiet moons that remain happily out of reach. Let's crawl into the solar eclipse and let it transport you to another time, another place. Can you see them? Can you hear them? The ones who were not where they were supposed to be?
