Her Metaphor Lab

Alternative Narratives of Becoming Not to explain a life but to resist how it is
expected to unfold

Her Metaphor Lab is an experimental publishing practice constructing counter-narratives of growing. We collect fragments through interviews and fieldwork. We translate them into non-linear forms.

'Her' marks a displacement. A voice that is present, but not centered.
