I believe that what matters most happens in the in-between —
a space where poetry and politics quietly intertwine.
It does not always appear in loud or forceful ways,
but resists gently, with a soft but certain force.
In a moment of storytelling, a fleeting gesture, a shared meal,
something shifts:
a border softens, a stereotype cracks open, a buried memory stirs.

Contradictions are carried here:
the taste of home in a foreign land,
the warmth of a meal woven with the wounds of displacement,
the hidden resistance within the ordinary.
By holding onto these complexities, this is not an act of representation,
but a practice of another kind of existence.

There is no escape here, only another path:
to remember differently, to narrate with textures, gestures, fragments.
To let voices surface that are often overwritten.
In a world driven by clarity, categorization, and efficiency,
this is a space for ambiguity, tenderness, and slowness.


我相信,重要的事物总是在“中间地带”发生——在诗意与政治悄然交织的空间里。
它们不总是以激烈或高调的形式显现,却能以温柔的方式抵抗。
在一次叙述、一次相遇、一次日常动作中,某些东西正在悄然改变:
一道边界被软化,一个刻板印象被打破,一段被遗忘的记忆被唤起。

矛盾可以被承载:
在异乡中触摸故土的温度,
在微小中回应流离的伤痕,
在平凡中隐藏抵抗的力量。
保持复杂性,不为再现,而是为另一种存在的可能。

这里,没有逃避,只有另一条路径。
用动作、质地、片段与缝隙中的声音去记忆、去叙事。
让真实浮现,让细腻和缓慢对抗明确性、分类与效率的冲动。
