A sonorous draft; a lexicon of windjamming will stage a reading room for part one of a three-part narrative on labour and genealogy, opening up to non-conventional forms of kinship and sound-perception as a queer strategy for displacing the visual (as akin to biological) gaze.

Abbra Kotlarczyk is a writer and artist based in Melbourne.
