Room for a Counter Interior

Hatched as an elaboration on an extemporaneous performance given on April 18, 2017 for the Living Conditions Reading Series at Silent Barn, Bushwick, NY, Saretta Morgan’s "Room for a Counter Interior" could be grasped as a razor-like counterpoise to security measures and designs that are being put in public space partly because of the breakdown of various communities that were marginalized in the first place. It’s a daring little chapbook that tries to expose how replacing the defensive structures used to remove people who have become disconnected, and ultimately excluded from the already scarce support systems with the architecture of caring, intimate spaces, even if they are as transitory as human bodies, might come as an utter extrication from principles based on the violent exclusion of the other.
