Mauritian-born architect and activist Doung Anwar Jahangeer’s failed attempt at suicide resulted in a new life of walking and talking, teaching and learning, between his habitat and communities. Vulnerability: an openness to power, beliefs, agencies, languages, meanings, relationships, or struggles outside our standard spheres of movement; such an openness can of course lead to damage, but it might also lead to wonder, creation, or love (Bakhtin, McKay, Garvey, Brown). In the face of what felt like overwhelming powerlessness, Jahangeer began moving around, and listening and attuning to, the potentials of life outside the limits he and his habitat had constructed to that point.
