June Chronicle curated by Nadja Henß with collective contributions by On Tradition - Future Ancestors 2: Rurality and Law participants

The almost last meeting of the Future Ancestors

in this constellation

seeking refuge from the sun

under the trees of the monastery.

One of them was lying in the grass

with distance

listening to their songs, poems, ideas and laughter

with a foggy head

waiting for their visit.

They were pleasant those visits in the garden,

seeing the group trusting each other

tired

but smiling.

The one in the distance

was witnessing their steps

and moved by the beautiful things they made.

- Text made by the group in response to Cristina Campo’s poem ‘La Tigra Assenza’ :

AHI

What’s the silence praying for?

What if

Beloved ones

itamo o amati

The silence of petrified waves

Beloved ones

Oh to devour this face

Totally absence

Devour absence

Remember me,

Pray absence

Beloved absence

The color of the sky is infinite

Big kat

Ekùn

Kùn

O amati assenzi

Pray again

The words me speak

Make worlds

Two faces chalked

With white dots

Turn into the face

Of a leopard

The leopard

Turns into the face of a woman

The woman is an empress

Ekùn

In the tigers

Presence

Voi 

Non

Htoum mouth

Non

Iov

What if 

Я люблю тебе

Даже когда тебе сложно понять его

Слова и шаги

Которые переплетаются

С твоими шагами

Которые тебя слушаются. 

И ты понимаешь как это все сложно

И легко и одновременно 

Я люблю тебе

Также как

Ти кохаэш його

Still turned towards you

What if

You are not an island

Still only the mouth

Still devoured
