The Wandering, Winding Way of the Wound

For the webinar he was joined by Sophie Strand, Tyson Yunkaporta, and Vanessa Andreotti.
Themes addressed in the webinar include:
-the need for new therapeutic configurations, a politics and aesthetics given to the eruption of the new and the unthought.
-investigate what modern subjectivity obscures, to trace the lineage of bodily manufacture within industrial arrangements, and to touch the far edges of our bodies and porous membranous skins, long enough to taste their insectoid secretions.
-We focus not on what gets in the way of healing, but on what healing gets in the way of.
-We think through contermoder, animist, Yoruba ideas of agency to investigate the way the city produces wellbeing.
-We inquire about what is obscured in the co-productions of healing/justice/wholeness as recovery, when framed as a return to the familiar images we are used to.
Ultimately, as we examine wounds as animist vocations or as multi-species ecologies, we aim to co-weave a decolonial aesthetic of submerged memory, of secret longing, of silenced suspicions, of unbridled magic, of pedagogical possibility, of sensuous touch, and of therapeutic potency.
