“A MOVEMENT”

There’s nothing wrong with imagining “a movement” as a physical entity upon which some lead and others follow, but we must think beyond that. This whole idea that a movement consists solely of marches, or that we need this lead/follow dynamics to know it is a movement? Problematic. We are movements! The conversations we have with each other. The consciousness that we raise. The relationships we build. All movements! The nature of movement has changed, and rightfully so. Our notion of “a movement” should be as imaginative as we are.
