Can research be free‑flowing, unbound by documentation? Can it be an entity that lives within the encounterer? Is a person not already a bundle of knowledge?

Institutions

Apr 12, 2026

Institutions built on whiteness don’t defend people who look white — they defend the architecture of whiteness itself. The people that benefit from it, will soon kill those that attempt to expose it, whatever skin colour they have. Those that attempt to change it to be more inclusive, essentially changing the very frameworks of it will know violence like its never been felt. I naively thought I could discuss or make effective change, I can tell you something my white skin did not protect me from the insidious, destructive and epistemic violence.
