Every love song that we've ever heard is a constant reminder to us that that individuation is bullshit: "I can't live without you." That's a commonplace formulation that ought to allow us to call radically into question, okay, the metaphysical terms that we have come to accept. If really, if 'I can't live without you,' that's a critique of I, of it's very possibility. And we should follow that threat to the end. And we should follow that thread not only as a rhetorical formulation, but follow it at the level of our practices.

All Incomplete

Stefano Harney; Fred Moten

All Incomplete studies the history of a preference for the force and ground and underground of social existence. Engaging a vibrant constellation of thought that includes the work of Amilcar Cabral, Erica Edwards, Denise Ferreira da Silva, Cedric Robinson, Walter Rodney, Hortense Spillers and many others, Harney and Moten seek to share and understand that preference.

In so doing, Moten and Harney hope to have forged what Manolo Callahan, echoing Ivan Illich, calls a convivial tool that – despite the temptation to improve and demand, develop and govern, separate and grasp – helps us renew our habits of assembly.

All Incomplete features the work of award winning photographer Zun Lee, exploring and celebrating the everyday spaces of Black sociality, intimacy, belonging, and insurgency, and a preface by Denise Ferreira da Silva.
