Remembering the Haptic Library
07.03.2025
In the wake of histories marked by rupture and resilience, the Haptic Library is a site of remembering—a space where concealed, unloved, and insurgent knowledge resurface and overflow. Drawing inspiration from the word “hapticality,” as proposed by Stefano Harney and Fred Moten in The Undercommons, the Haptic Library presents itself as a receptacle for extending “the capacity to feel through others, for others to feel through you, for you to feel them feeling you…” It questions the inherent dominance of sight and printed matter by bringing multiple approaches to inscribing and disseminating knowledge into proximity and encouraging interaction with a range of textural forms and modes of thought.
