SKIN CONFESSIONS
“And yet his sister was playing so beautifully. Her face was turned to the side, her gaze folowed the score intently and sadly. Gregor crept still a little further and kept his head close against the floor in order to be able to catch her gaze if possible. Was he an aimal that music so seized him? For him it was as if the way to the unknown nourishment was revealing itself to him.”

KAKENYA’S NEGOTIATION
“When I reached age 12, the age at which girls undergo female genital mutilation and get married, it was time for me to take a risk. If I followed the expected path, my dreams for a different future would end with my circumcision and marriage. I did something no girl in my village had ever done.” Kakenya (Kenya)

“En azaroso y desesperados procesos de destilación, fundida con los siete metales planetarios, trabajada con el mercurio hermético y el vitriolo de Mercurio de Chipre, y vuelta a cocer en manteca de cerdo a falta de aceite de rábano, la preciosa herencia de Úrsula quedó reducida a un chicharrón carbonizado que no pudo ser desprendido del caldero.”
