13. “As this society does not have a clear place for
    visual languages, I often sense a great need to
    legitimize our language by politicizing sound and
    the voice box, which are two tools I use to explore
    my position. This contributes to my practice of
    unlearning society’s views and etiquettes around
    sound.”

24. “We come into the world unknowing and dependent, and,
    to a certain degree, we remain that way”

26. 선행과 상관없는 동행
    그런 것을 언제까지고 반복해보고 싶다. 
    (심보선, <외국인들> 중)
    The literal translation of the poem is “Accompaniment
    that has nothing to do with the precedence. I want to
    repeat it indefinitely.”

27. 이 시의 아름다움은 '선행(先⾏, 앞서 일어난 일)’과 ‘선행(善⾏, 좋은 행위)’ 두
    가지 의미를 연상시키는 동음이의어 '선행'에 있다. 그래서 이 시는 '지금까지
    어떤 길을 걸어왔을지라도' 또는 '걸어가는 것이 곧 선행(善⾏)을 의미 하더라
    도' 그것과 상관없이 (그런 것을 언제까지고 반복해보고 싶다)라는 두 가지 의
    미로 해석될 수 있다
    However, the English translation of ز೯ჯḝas
    “accompaniment” does not capture the poetic sense of “Walking
    along,” which signals partaking in a collective journey. The
    beauty of the poem lies in the homonym of ࢶ೯, which can mean
    ࢶ೯ᔬḝ “precedence” or ࢶ೯ᔭḝ “doing good.” Thus, the poem
    can be interpreted as “I want to keep walking along,
    regardless of whether we have already taken the path or
    whether the walking is meant to do any good.”

30. “Community is not the work of singular beings, nor
    can it claim them as its work, just as
    communication is not a work or even an operation
    of singular beings, for community is simply their
    being—their being suspended upon its limit.”
    Jean-Luc Nancy, The Inoperative Community

41. “S.Taylor: And I think that’s something that
    definitely affects the image of disabled
    people. That somehow disabled people are
    perceived as more dependent, or that they
    are the ones that are dependent, when in
    actuality we are all interdependent, that
    is, dependent on different structures and on
    each other.”
    Astra Taylor, Examined Life: Excursions with
    Contemporary Thinkers,187

49. Minhee Lee (Artist): I feel artists need to focus on their art and
    their being as an artist. Nowadays, the word disability no longer
    appears in the art world. I think that this has been made possible
    because we are conscious of not using the word to describe art. Even
    if you are conscious of disability, it doesn’t help because it’s
    only you who suffers. I think that painting is just a painting, and
    artwork is just the work of art. I used to work with some people.
    When they wrote about disability to describe the artwork, I got very
    angry. I don’t want people to look at my disability, but just my
    work and me as a person. There’s no such thing as disability.
    Disability is a result of all the obstacles we make. When we draw a
    line, everyone draws a squiggle.

50. Yerim Kim (Social worker / Seobu Welfare Center for persons with
    Disability): I don’t think that there is a negative element about the
    word disability. It’s just about being different. However, there are a
    lot of people with extremely negative perspectives about disability.
    Such images exist within people with disabilities as well, so it’s
    hard to talk about it. I think it’s better for the people with
    disability to talk about it with other people. By having a
    conversation about disability, people can reconsider their
    perspectives on disability. I’m not sure what it means for such words
    like disability to disappear. I think we need to have more
    conversations about how to see the genuine reality of what exists.
