Words Takeover explores the act of reading as a summoning. The writer enters your mind, you let them in, and their thoughts hover alongside yours. And when you read them out loud, you become a vessel for their thoughts to enter the world.
Featuring Ephraim Asili, Fluid Frontiers (2017); Dora García, The Joycean Society (2013); Jonna Kina, Secret Words and Related Stories (2013-2016); Natsuka Kusano, Domains (2019).
