Forma

Ayreen Anastas & Rene Gabri

Ayreen Anastas, a body in search of gestures, words, phrases, sentences to disactivate and destitute the impositions, forms, including the form of biography this form of self, to bring about some forces which give potency to life to bodies with and around them. How to not separate one ‘self?’ from a common that helps shape life and gives it intensity and meaning. How to become unintelligible, incomprehensible, opaque to the fabricated machines of subjectivation and self-making. How to write in a language that only friends-to-come receive, a language that wrestles with language to keep the relations to all the palestines and to their forms of life alive. Rene Gabri is another name for that process of recovering stolen life. The name is not gendered, though it has engendered enough confusion to assign to it all sorts of pronouns and prescriptions. It is a non-native name calling forth a native life, a life constantly pushed to the margins of oblivion. It recalls sites of previous and ongoing battles. It remains steadfastly associated with the wind, which is the closest kin or resembling a homeland. In this searching, a question which re-emerges: is wind origin, destiny or the unforeseen push toward a dissemination of the seeds of whatever could become recovery.
