Accompanying text: Jazmina Figueroa, Songs about Waiting

In Songs About Waiting, Jazmina Figueroa reflects on the emotional and philosophical dimensions of waiting through a personal narrative set in an airport. Using Fugazi’s Waiting Room and Genesis P-Orridge’s Frozen Velocity as auditory companions, she explores waiting not merely as delay or suspension, but as a state charged with ambiguity, resistance, and potential transformation. Through poetic and critical language, the essay dwells on waiting as both burden and agency—a space of soft endurance, affective suspension, and sonic revelation.
