Description
In this chapter, we embody the energy of our transnational and transgenerational co-authorship: a co-travelling where we commit to a lifelong process of unlearning and relearning for justice. Wording such a co-authorship is only possible in the form of a hungry translation, an endless poetry of striving, failing, and all the while being in relation to one another—music that is often better communicated in poetry and embodied expressions rather than academic arguments. Such co-authorship necessitates a collectively embraced radical vulnerability that transforms itself into a continuous and tumultuous journey of learning to surrender our authority, and becoming with the relationships and communities, the mistakes and lessons, and the joys and sorrows, which accompany that journey. We braid a tale of our own co-learning journey, embedded in lives lived in inherently collective spaces and dreams, rooted within diverse movements that strive to speak to one another, even as they find their meanings and possibilities in very different geographies.
