Read Margaret’s essay ‘Art and the Void’: https://bit.ly/2Yg1xXO

In this excerpt of my interview with anarchist author, musician, and crafter Margaret Killjoy, we discuss a recent essay published on her website ‘Art and the Void,’ in which she explores creativity and artistic exploration, using the metaphor of an "ice floe, floating in an infinite sea" to examine our mutually expressed and shared reality and our contributions to it.

“We, more or less all of us, live on the ice floe. We, more or less all of us, are constantly in the process of making and fixing and expanding it. Without our continued work, the ice would break apart, or it would melt, and we would be swallowed by the sea, by the void, by the infinite possibility. That is to say, we are constantly in the process of making and remaking reality. We do not do this alone. We do this collectively.” (https://bit.ly/2Yg1xXO)

Within this framing, we then discuss not only creative expression as such, but also gender roles and other potentially constricting categories our society imposes on us. 

Margaret Killjoy is the author of numerous novels, including ‘The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion’ and ‘The Barrow Will Send What it May,’ and has contributed to such books as ‘We Are Many.’ She is currently a part several music projects, including Vulgarite, Feminazgul, Alsarath, and Nomadic War Machine.
