“becoming-nomads” draws upon the nomadic and patriarchal histories of the ship to explore the “Nomadic Subject”*, which is rooted in feminist practices. It proposes a space of inclusion where diverse participants engage in a collective and relational act: The continuously changing structure is composed of coloured nautical ropes carrying texts based on Rosi Braidotti’s writings. Visitors are invited to sit together, read the texts, tie new knots and pass the ropes to one another, continuously transforming the structure.

Wherever lines cross, pass through, bend around and become entangled, a knot inevitably emerges. 

*“One must start by leaving open spaces of experimentation, of search, of transition: becoming-nomads.” — Rosi Braidotti
