As yesterday, I continued digging the pond in the garden. At around noon I went to Ghent bc i planned to meet with Kiara. I came early and she came an hour late. There was a large gap of time where I had nothing to do. I just thought a bit and called mith Moïse from Drc. He named his baby ‘Jacob’ after me. The child was born on monday and everything went well for the baby and the mom. It is honestly too crazy for words hahahahaha. There is now a kid in Congo that is named after me.
After an hour Kiki arrived. At first she was looking a little bit overwhelmed to me. She was a bit nervous for later that evening. We went to sit in the grass at bijloke and talked for a looong time and she completely explained what she wanted to share later that evening. It made a lot of sense for me. After this we walked to Brugse poort where Margot and her sisters house are. It was in their living room kiara and me were sharing, presenting,… later that evening. When we arrived we ate ogether and Kiara told a very funny story about her experience at a strange clown camp that was training to interact with refugee kids. People slowly started to come and hang out. Out of nowhere Zeger showed up!! He was supposed to be on vacation so i was super suprised and happy to see him. When a bunch of ppl were there Kiara started talking and presenting and it was a chaotic mix of books, sounds and talking about many different things and people were really engaged with it. It is really a room full of nerds who have so much to offer in terms of references and perspectives. And they give so much. We took a break and after that it was my turn. I think i was pretty sensitive and precise in the way i talked about my project, it got a looot of reaction and i really regret not recording it. It was really epic and so refreshing. Afterwrds we walked home to zegers place and talked for a long time there with the three of us.
