⁂

Making huts of all kinds - inventing, gardening the possible; without fear of calling “huts” huts of phrases, paper, thought, friendship, new ways of representing space, time, action, links, practices. Building huts to occupy the terrain in a different way; which means always, today, putting ourselves together. […] There is bravery, bravado, a joy in seizing the present. […] Braving here means first and foremost “doing”, in a very material joy - building, gathering, cultivating, cooking, darning, making, gardening, changing rhythm, assembling, weaving, tracing, drawing, raising, digging, taking the air, speaking, quoting… Building faster and everywhere. Telling stories, inventing stories, making stories too: posing problems, making destructive gestures more difficult. […] And it's not just about doing, but about doing together: living together, trying out collective ways; inhabiting together […]; thinking together; and very often, writing together. […] We're building, we're re-inhabiting, and we have to get ready to keep on moving, down mountains, across plains, from hut to hut, from hut to river.
