In Zurich, by the Limmat waters so clear, High-heels and Crocs walk with no fear. Shoes of all sizes, from 10XL to petite, In the river's reflection, a droll and grotesque feat. Permissive its banks, to all who feel distressed, A place to find solace, a moment of rest.

Always more than one uses Sara Ahmed's book Strange Encounters. Embodied Others in Post Coloniality as a starting point. The artists developed the publication in multiples stages, reflecting upon the figure of the stranger.

Always more than one

A publication by Giuliana Beya Dridi, Cathrin Jarema, Lukas Kaufmann and Gianna Virginia Prein

Strange Encounters challenges the assumption that the stranger is someone we do not know. Ahmed argues that the stranger is socially constructed and even very familiar to us. Drawing on feminist and postcolonial theories, it explores the impact of multiculturalism and globalization on embodiment and community. The publication Always more than one follows a participatory format. Built upon on each other, new contributions came about through interpretation and observation.
