HARMONIUMS ~ An ace-dancing-webbing zine ~
~ In Narrative in the Age of Genome, Choksey examines how narrative can attend to the “imaginaries that fall outside, resist or outright refuse the reduction of life to molecular text”, and bring forward the “alternative modes of narrating belonging” already fore fronted in marginalised communities and “cosmologies” (Choksey, 2021). There is something so necessary in this - in focusing on what exists outside of, and in counter to the linear form prescribed by genetic lineage (which is formed along imperial, colonial and heternormative kinship boundaries) (Choksey, 2021) (O’Sullivan, 2021).
In this way, asexual methodologies, narrative, and Harmoniums trace many branching pathways.
