weaving stories II: Abolish the Human
April 2, 2026
For weaving stories II, ARIAS is collaborating with the Research Group Art & Spatial Praxis at Rietveld Sandberg Research. Over three sessions, entitled Abolish the Human, Art & Spatial Praxis invites research collaborators and the ARIAS network to imagine more equitable, communal, queer, and subversive ways of being and of inhabiting our urban environments.
Drawing on the work of Jamaican writer and philosopher Sylvia Wynter, these weaving stories sessions focus on her concept of the plot as a historical material space, a narrative technology, and a practice of being human. Each session will introduce key aspects of Wynter’s thinking and feature an activation led by an invited guest collaborator.
