Flutter by Melissa Andrea6/2/2023 I remember I was thinking a lot about empathy at this time, because I wanted to try to come up with a politics that was based on a kind of negative solidarity, this idea that followed from thinking about the old and new feminist discussions about emotional labour and paying attention to the social aspect of existence, even when the social bonds seem very frayed. I was excited to see my old lecturer, Christine Battersby, who has done great work on gender, genius and phenomenology. I remember Melissa being kind and there was a general thoughtful and open-hearted atmosphere at the South London Gallery. I must confess I do not remember much about my contribution, which was on ‘radical empathy’.
