performingborders Pamphlet #7 – trans[*] glocal – Cooperative resources by intrans___
07th February 2025 On 26th October 2024, intrans___ hosted trans[*]glocal, a hybrid performative gathering held at the Battersea Arts Centre, London. intrans___ (Intersectional Network for Transglocal Solidarity) was initiated in 2023 by Raju Rage (UK), Nad MA (México), and Kaur Chimuk (India) as a mutual effort to explore their shared inquiries into the future of non-hierarchical, cooperative transmedia exchange.
trans[*] glocal examined practices, languages, and contexts to grow potential new ecologies and alternative presents within intrans___ artists’ local contexts and beyond. In this pamphlet you can delve into some of the collaborative ongoing resources Raju, Nad and Kaur have developed as a way to share their work, thinking, and tools.
Heba Hayek was commissioned to write in response to the gathering. For the text ‘How Many Times Must the Phoenix Burn? entries from the rupture’ she drew from her reflections on the meaning of the words ‘here’ and ‘there’, through her lived experience as a writer split between London and Palestine during the genocide of her people.
