The Many Returns; To Over-exist

• In Event: Infrastructures of Liberation II: Resistance, Reconstruction, and De-Occupation in the Ukrainian Commons

Abstract

In this paper, I tune myself to listen to the stories of over-existence, tracing the flows of life and lifelines of survival in Ukraine. While thinking through and with over-existence on the ground, I also try to look out for the many returns (of birds, of trees, of people), those hoped for, dreamed about, feared, those holding yet another glimmer of what is to come, after.
