Gaps, Openings and Possibilities
Gaps are not just failures but openings where new possibilities emerge. In Barad’s agential realism, events unfold through entanglements, not fixed plans. When things don’t happen as expected, these ruptures disrupt control but also create space for new ways of knowing and relating. This is crucial precisely because we don’t know what we don’t know—unanticipated gaps reveal possibilities beyond our initial frameworks, allowing knowledge and collaboration to be reconfigured in ways we couldn’t have predicted.
