Can language foam like a mouth? In their hybrid volume \u003cb\u003eArrangements\u003c\/b\u003e, Esther Kondo Heller creates textual \u0026amp; visual language that escapes the page to utter and speak past the record, the archive, and the document. What arrangements exist between a mother and child? In listening to Black queer life in Berlin, Mombasa, and London the action of arranging becomes a means of sounding out a collective utterance of Black survival with joy amid grief, colonialism, medical racism, and loss.
