<\/p>\n\u2018Where do you come from?\u2019 \u2013 I am rolling this question around in my mind, trying to remember where I come from. From Kolkata? From India? From Bangladesh? From homelessness? From an undefined state of nostalgia? As Lois Weaver introduced several questions for us to think about when we all sat around a circle, I realized we were going somewhere from \u2018here\u2019 \u2013 the present moment. Within the next few days, about fifteen of us were grouping and regrouping together, playing games, brainstorming ideas, creating rituals and performance pieces, independently and collectively. \u2018What do you really care for?\u2019 was another of her questions. \u2018No, no, what do you really care for?…no, no, no, no, what do you absolutely really really care for and you think is the most important thing to you?\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We were to \u2018occupy\u2019 the Nitery. Not that some of us did not have trouble reconciling with the violence implied in the word \u2018occupy\u2019, but we were ready with our different tools to change the world \u2013 flashmobs, and story-telling, intimate dialogues, tightrope walking, performance, activism and skits \u2013 we \u2018occupied\u2019 the space and time with what we had to say, show, perform and resist. And despite diverse personalities, different methods and varied causes, our little space in the Nitery transformed into a space to nurture \u2018what we absolutely really really care for\u2019.<\/p>\n
