Summary

Glossary Dialogues on The Part In The Story Where Our Accumulating Dust Becomes A Mountain is the result of extensive conversations developed in the process of exhibition making. Continued over a period of several months, these conversations propose around six action-words that entail the meaning and practice of ‘sharing’ (in a museum); they also suggest collections as a cluster that functions as a tool for understanding and exercising this practice. These conversations, emerged from these clusters and chains of action-words, become nodes and particular scenes within the exhibition, catalysing the ensuing conversation and practice. Dialogue―in which lived experience and situated knowledge intersect while also reflecting the differing modes of language, culture and senses―are fragments of knowledge attained in the attempt to seek a collective thought. As such, our language contains (intentional) misreadings, surprise, a kind of argument, difference, and consensus. As this dialogue encounters the audience, it intertwines more fragments of knowledge and experience and is able to bring about the continuously expanding meanings and networks.
