What do we do with beginnings once everything has become relational?
In contemporary discourse, where philosophical and artistic thought is often shaped by relational ontologies, the performance project *After all, this is just another beginning *asks what has actually become of beginnings. Are beginnings everywhere because new contingencies constantly arise? Or have they disappeared because everything co-emerges from pre-existing relations? And yet we mark beginnings socially: we celebrate them, we time them, perhaps we even fear them.

After all, this is just another beginning is a durational performance exploring this dilemma. In doing so, it uncovers the force, risks, possibilities, and responsibilities that arise when we don’t discard beginnings but keep thinking-through them relationally.
