By sharing stories, we aim to foster conversations on the power of storytelling as a means of turning the ordinary into a space for imagining and pursuing an otherwise.

Through stories of everyday encounters, we believe it is possible to envisage other possibilities: other ways of living, of understanding, of imagining the past, present and future.

An Otherwise Manifesto
We see Otherwise as an interface between storytellers of the ordinary within and outside academia, activism, professional writing, visual arts, and areas of life and work where opportunities for storytelling remain limited.

I’ve been really enjoying this book. It brings stories from all over Mesoamérica to explain ancient Mayan art, and really does a beautiful job of illustrating the fact that all of Mesoamérica was unified in terms of underlying world view.

Boycotting Eurovision for very obvious reasons but I saw someone point this out and I think it's cool. The singer for Ireland, Bambie Thug, was banned from including pro-Palestine messages on their costumes. But they did anyways, in THE ANCIENT OGHAM IRISH ALPHABET. 🇮🇪

'An art museum should be a stage on which events are happening. It should not be a temple and it should not be an amusement park. Displaying an artwork is an event, a talk is an event, and they create memories [...] and when we leave it we should be filled with these memories'

"Mowing the lawn"
Those with Tanks claim they are the victims of those who have no tanks.
Those with Helicopter Gunships claim they are the victims of those who have only Para-gliders.
Those with F16 fighter bombers dropping bombs and White Phosphorous claim they are the victims of those who have, again, only Para-gliders.
Those with missiles claim they are the victims of those with rockets.
Those with WMDs, including Nuclear weapons, claim they are the victims of those who are in comparison a mouse being played with by a cat with all the time in the world to kill.
"WE Control The Height of the Flames.”

Anti-zionism is not Antisemitism.
