Summary/Abstract: This article employs diffractive research strategies such as poetic inquiry, storying and speculative fabulation (Haraway 2013) to explore the interplay, or intra-action (Barad 2007), of memories, nostalgias, and material storied with two Instagram channels. The article does not compare these elements, but sees them as parts of a distributed knowledge (King 2011). Informed by Deleuzo-Guattarian nomadic thought and feminist new materialism, the article suggests looking at artwork and crafts as performativity (Barad 2007), network reenactment (King 2011) andspeculative fabulation (Haraway 2013). The article itself takes shape in multispecies entanglements as ways of engaging with vibrant matter.
