in practice: a public moment is a collaborative work that brings together voice, movement, and installation in an improvised encounter, foregrounding openness, uncertainty, and reciprocal engagement. Drawing on Édouard Glissant’s concept of trembling thinking—a mode of thought that refuses fixed categories and imperial systems of logic in favor of wandering, relational, and non‑totalizing forms of cognition—participants enact sound, speech, and gesture in a space that resists predetermined outcomes. In Glissant’s terms, trembling thinking is neither fear nor indecision but an active poetics of trembling that supports contact with others across difference and complexity, countering systems of domination with openness and unpredictability.
