Gestures of affection are doomed to be stuck, impossible to deroot from sex. Intimacy, which does not always make sense, is what we fear and shift with language. This is the kind of friction we are trying here. Where could we place friction first? In solidarity, in fiction? NTMYT is an artistic research project centered around gestures and movements of intimacy as specific forms of corporal and corporeal language, at the intersection of collective performance, communication and social negotiation tools in an intersectional feminist manner. Its urgency is to challenge public displays of affection between beings as a way to counterbalance common opinions on how we can read togetherness in the emergence of bodies.
