(yes, it is) 23 of May – 26 of June I’ll be one of three residents in the project Walking Peace in the Avian Kingdom in Sweden, organised by ARNA at the very spot where two pilgrim trails meet in Harlösa. Walking Peace is a green, slow and peaceful way of making new connections across cultural backgrounds and religions, creating art as a statement for peace while walking. Afterwards I'll be researching the pioneer life in Värmland.

traces


feet that won’t get clean
blue stains i can’t remember the source of
a heart shaped scar from the hot metal stove door
a silence in my head that holds foot even when i walk through busy amsterdam streets
small scars from hundreds of musquito & midgee bites
scratches on my arms and legs
visibility of muscles i never knew i had
greener fingers
a soft sweet pain in my heart
new knowledge
everlasting stories
new old friends
happiness
