This book calls for an attentive examination of the uncommon that inspires creativity, prompting a re-examination of common and marginalised precedents. It offers an alternative to the compulsion to normalise, universalise, repeat, and re-enact, transforming the documentation of far-removed precedents through first-person experiences.
