When Writing Was A Physical Act

We tend to think of writing as something permanent, with words printed on a page or displayed on a screen. But what if understanding writing means paying attention to the moment of its creation? In this episode, host Camila Sabogal is joined by Tim Brookes, founder of the Endangered Alphabets Project, to discuss his fascinating new Kickstarter campaign: Liquid. Tim challenges our narrow Western understanding of what writing is, arguing that it is not simply a system of static symbols but a physical, fluid, and deeply human act. We explore the profound difference between the volatile "liquid" phase of writing and the "dry" permanence we see on the page.
