harriet c. brown [ed.]
Harriet Brown fue el nombre que la actriz sueca Greta Garbo eligió para abandonar el mundo del cine y recluirse en su apartamento de Nueva York en los años cuarenta del pasado siglo. Además, Harriet Brown ha dado nombre a activistas por los derechos de las mujeres y activistas antirracistas y también a muchas otras activadoras de comienzos a las que rendimos homenaje. documenta fifteen, ruangrupa y consonni se escriben en minúsculas, así es con harriet c. brown. Usamos este seudónimo como una entidad colectiva formada por la diversidad de cuerpos de consonni y de la parte implicada del equipo artístico de documenta fifteen. Es un ser-en-común, un ser literario. harriet c. brown es un cuerpo lumbung que rescatamos ahora como práctica de comunidad para fabricar presente y convertirlo en un cuerpo textual.
