“the blurring of terms
silence not absence
of words or music or even
raw sounds
Silence can be a plan
rigorously executed
the blueprint to a life
It is a presence
it has a history a form
Do not confuse it
with any kind of absence”
—Adrienne Rich
Silence is often approached as something lacking, as a space without sound. In speaking, silence is often considered to be in opposition to voice — its mute counterpart. In a predominantly western theory of voice where we privilege the voice as the ultimate means to achieve empowerment, how could silence be animated as a space for resistive possibility? How could we learn to read silence in all of its nuance?
