<div id="content"><p>Vulnerable Interfaces Four soft, silly and loud ways to tell heavy
stories. (on the cover)</p>
<p>Act 1. Scene 1.</p>
<p>Internal. A reader holds a book in their hands. The first page of the
book is opened, the reader holds it to their face and smells the paper,
touches it. The book touches them back.</p>
<p>the book (whispering in the readers ear): Being vulnerable means
being transparent, open and brave, trusting others to handle stories
with care. By publicly sharing and processing our narratives, we take
ownership of our experiences while contributing to a collective voice.
Even when we incorporate stories from others, our names remain attached
to this collective creation: Ada, Aglaia, Irmak, Stephen. We have
created interfaces highlighting the balance between communal sharing,
individual responsibility and awareness.</p>
<p>the reader: Interfaces?</p>
<p>the book: Interfaces are boundaries that connect and separate.
Theyre the spaces that fill the void between us. An interface can be an
act, a story, a keyboard, a cake; It allows us to be vulnerable
together, to share our stories with and through each other. I am a
collection of these interfaces.</p>
<p>the reader (confused): What do you mean a collection, like a
catalogue?</p>
<p>the book: Yeah I guess. I weave the words and the works we created
during…</p>
<p>the reader: we?</p>
<p>the book: …I mean the four of us, the students of Experimental
Publishing at the Piet Zwart Institute. From 2022 until today, June
2024, we published three special issues together. We wrote four theses
and made four graduation projects. We grew our hair out and cut it and
grew it again and dyed it. We cared and cried for each other, we brewed
muddy coffee and bootlegged books. (the book tears up) Finishing a
Masters is a bit of a heavy moment for us and this book is a gentle
archive, a memory of things that have been beautiful to us.</p>
<p>the reader (sarcastically): do you have a tissue, im soooo
touched.</p>
<p>the book: malaka, just read me already!</p>
