I have been asking different people to send me images or stories which describe their way of understanding the nomadic. I am curious about the multitude of ways that the nomadic appears in contemporary(global) experience- including migrant labor, business travel and relocation, spiritual engagement, as brought on by natural disaster or war and in its archaic/ traditional forms. I sense this figure is related to a feeling of precariousness shared by many, and at the same time is deeply desired. I am wondering about the places (and contradictions) where these conditions meet the more aesthetic, ethical and philosophical versions of nomadism as laid out by Rosi Braidotti, Miwon Kwan, Deleuze and Guattari. I am also interested in the idea that the nomad, though itinerant, follows some kind of a pattern, that has to do with sustenance.
