Through an encounter with one of the key interlocutors in my research on intimacy in urban edge spaces, Noah Fabri will present a narrative which complicates understandings of friendship, social infrastructure and intimacy among West African men in Ħamrun. 

Building on understandings of the cultural skills that prompt and facilitate West Africans’ migration journeys, Fabri will pay attention to the embodied and affective nature of their encounters across difference. They will explore constructions of masculinity, embodied and narrative rhythms, and techniques of improvisation used in defining and assigning moral value to their intersubjective relationships. 

Noah Fabri will thus begin to open up the relationalities that form networks and encounters in public space to include intimacy and morality as two key factors. They hope to create a dialogue between the anthropology of friendship and the anthropology of intimacy, in paying attention to intimacy as at once a relational, cultural and infrastructural phenomenon 
The presentation will be followed by a discussion.
 
Noah Fabri is currently completing fieldwork for their MA in Anthropology, focusing on the social and political dimensions of intimacy in Ħamrun and Marsa. They are interested in urban edge spaces, migration, food and the senses from a queer and decolonial lens.
