The word exoticism is translated by the Cambridge Dictionary as: “The quality of being unusual and exciting because of coming (or seeming to come) from far away, especially a tropical country.” I have been walking the extra mile, talking, alienate from words, wondering if. If this exhaustion ever stops, if this air around me unfold my thoughts or if I’m forever captured in a system of goodwil change, sparkly “diversity”, superficial education? Relearn breathing. THERE IS NO CREATIVITY WITHOUT IDENTITY. / IS IT FAITH, MOLDING OR DESTINY? / ONLY YOU HAVE THE POWER OF HOW YOU WOULD BE PREVISED. / ALTHOUGH IS THAT TRUE? / IS YOUR MASK THE REAL YOU? / THE REAL IN ALL DAY REALITY / OR THE MASK THAT THEY / WANT TO SEE. Destroy your own prejudices, listen what we have to say and shut up! Decolonial greetings, ANAJA
