Post Nightingale: Translation in Process was a collaborative movement experiment in performing knowledge with Iréne Hultman Monti, where theory was translated into nightingale songs to be heard, held, and interacted with. In order to experience thoughts, words, and actions as they unfold in a moment, this accidental collaboration explored the intersection of potentiality and entanglement. Leaning on theorists Patricia Clough, Luciana Parisi, Henri Bergson and Karen Barad together with poet Ethel Adnan and other sayings, this process intended to explore and allow the gaps in between the known and unknown to be elucidated. What connective tissue does knowledge nest in?
