* How can we interface with (our) bodies and environments in a way that resists colonial approaches such as extractivism, without falling into an ecological conservatism? | |||
* How can we appropriate technologies to destabilize gridded, cartesian notions of space to provoke open, poetic, indeterminate and careful orientations within and through space? | |||
* How can we resist essentialist assumptions about (our) naturalized bodies and diffract how we relate to the more-than-human world? | |||
* Instead of creating distance to the world, how can we re-appropriate media-technologies as explorations of relational belongings, in a manner of decolonial poetic interventions (Glissant)? | |||
Through a series of hands-on workshops, reading + movie sessions, and field/body research trips, we will develop skills and tools to find our own answers to these or other questions. Together, we will build a collaboratve framework of references that allows us to make projects that contribute to the complex networks of our technological and natural reality in meaningful ways. | Through a series of hands-on workshops, reading + movie sessions, and field/body research trips, we will develop skills and tools to find our own answers to these or other questions.
