ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I use an arts-based narrative to sketch the events that unfold around my kitchen table. The story begins during a work-from-home moment at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic where I suddenly find myself facing a unicorn, and many other unexpected challenges. It is at this moment that I start to wonder how a unicorn can help me write about transdisciplinary feminism. The story that unfolds from there is about moving between the blurred boundaries of work and motherhood. The unicorn helps me tell a story about the intertwined nature of personal and professional identity. Secondly, it is a story of the merging of private and professional space which has become accentuated due to the work-from-home response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Finally, it is the story of moving between boundaries, about becoming, real and imagined, South and North, actual and virtual. This chapter is framed within a performative post-qualitative understanding of how artistic practice and educational research make it possible to explore a micro-moment in the life of a female academic at her kitchen table during a pandemic.
