Abstract
An artist, a curator, and an editor (who were friends already) work together on an art exhibition. This creative work kindles a series of reflections whose setting is a close friendship, and sexual and gender dissidence. The borders between their creative fields are dissolved as the authors share, question and interrupt one another with their own experiences and insights. The text follows a scattered trajectory through failure and its happenings, the capturing of identities, the disciplining of the health system, and the possibilities of imagining other forms of collectiveness. This text seeks to explore a way to embody creative processes born out of the contagion of friendship, and to imagine frayed writing.
