So for me it’s been important to think about things like sound as a space of invitation I want to create and occupy; that I want for others; that I want to be in with others who generate that. I think that’s a space academic work can make possible and has increasingly been made possible. I think there’s work that’s emerged that does that now, that is inviting. I don’t mean that makes it easy. I don’t think that makes it, you know, digestible. But I think it holds you in its beautiful sentences. And that holding lets you go where you need to go and sometimes these are very difficult places to be.
K'eguro Macharia in an article in Parallax Journal (Vol. 29 2023-issue 2). ‘You don’t have revolution without sound’: A Conversation between Christina Sharpe, Françoise Vergès and K’eguro Macharia
This conversation is wonderful. K'eguro's "sound as a space of invitation" captures how the participants listened to one another and invited their responses. The invitation extends to the reader too.
