Slide from Teacher Kameelah Janan Rasheed’s introduction to primitive hypertext. Students in Teaching & Learning As Primitive Hypertext have been talking a lot about relationships. Relationships between students and teachers, institutions, and places of study. Our relationships with the natural world. Our relationships with texts.
Hypertext created by Lizz: Hand-drawn images and quotes from recent encounters. Our ongoing, slippery yet inseparable relationship with our own selves, past and future. As teacher Kameelah Janan Rasheed says, _all learning is relational_. Following Octavia Butler, students explored what their own primitive hypertexts are. In these primitive hypertexts the link is not a link but the connections we make and the relationships we recognize. Primitive hypertexts took the form of collage, zines, storytelling websites, floor plans, and mind maps.

Hypertext Zine created by Nabil: a hypertext zine of important interconnecting fragments featuring a diagram of subjects, an excerpt of insect structure building, and serif quote. Participants in Teaching & Learning are creating their own hypertext of concepts, references, and phrases as they respond and riff in class on are.na.
