Soften a heart of grief
Shared by Alia Date shared 19 May 2025 Projects Source Correspondence

"The process considers how one can allow oneself to exist in one’s grief, even if just for this moment we allow it. To soften a heart of grief is not to get rid of it or play to the colonial disruptions of grief, set as a ‘melancholic paralysis’. There is no ask of ‘moving forward’, but rather re-membering, or what I have understood for most of the process: anticipating."
