November 6, 2022 a project of ServiceSpace When we express what we see in language that resonates, we can begin to make change. - Teow Lim Goh - The Link Between Landscape and Diaspora "My observations of nature sparked adventures into landscape and history, and it was in bearing witness to these injustices that I found language. And observation and description are at the root of bearing witness: it is about saying, in the face of the machinations of power to twist and deny its brutality, this is what I see. It is a simple act, but also a powerful one, for it cuts through facades and illusions to assert what we can plainly see for ourselves. It affirms the truths of our lives."
