Shardé: For me, that is a story of what it means to be zoomed in too far.  Because when we approach situations,  sometimes,  we are so caught up in a detail or a set of minute details, that it ...makes it... difficult for us to back up and look at the full picture. So for this, it might be... who benefits from this hate or this antagonism between diasporic persons? 

 

When we are angry, when we are experiencing hatred, especially if it is like... turned on a specific group of people, or even on ourselves... You have to ask yourself: "Who benefits from me hating this person? Or me not being able to be in community or to be in constructive relationship... with the entity I have this antagonism towards?" 

 

For me, when it is zoomed in, you still get a sense of the tension, but you don’t have ...an idea of ....what is going on spatially ...outside of what the frame is zoomed into. So, it makes you wonder...  What is going on that pushes these two entities together in this way?
