MARGINAL NOTES can be read as notes coming from the margins (geographically, socially, institutionally, chronologically) but also as marginalia, notes made on the margins of a page (of a book, document, journal). Referring to close reading, note taking, learning, highlighting, processes of understanding and critical engagement. In whichever context, on the margins is always a relative concept that shifts and moves, puts pressure on centres by forming altering gravitating powers from aside or below — and might unlock potential from present pasts. We are not fixed in time.
