JOSUÉ RIVAS on Throwing a Glitch in the Social Media Matrix /320

Josué invites us to challenge extractive and colonial lenses by embracing the overwhelming force of the creative urge. How might we break apart from the constant pressure of social media to envision the new modes of creation and creativity that these stories need in order to be told?

CLAUDIA SERRATO on Earth-Centric Gastronomy /302
CLAUDIA SERRATO on Earth-Centric Gastronomy /302

Claudia digs deep into food and the memories around it– from ancestral memory, to the way tastes for food are passed down through the womb. Claudia explains what it might mean to eat for the next seven generations, and how such future visions are tied to a greater decolonial project, as decolonizing the body and the landscape also means decolonizing the kitchen.

Dr. BAYO AKOMOLAFE on Slowing Down in Urgent Times [ENCORE] /285
Dr. BAYO AKOMOLAFE on Slowing Down in Urgent Times [ENCORE] /285

Bayo invites us to pause and abandon solutionism, step back from the project of progress, and dance into a different set of questions: What does the Anthropocene teach us as a destabilizing agent that resists our taming? What happens when we unfurl into a space of slowness and relinquish human mastery to a wider cosmic net of relations?

SHA’MIRA COVINGTON on Healing the Fashion Industrial Complex /265

Sha’Mira shares that the fashion industrial complex cannot simply be discussed in terms of environmental impact alone, it must be acknowledged as a loud echo of colonial conquest; not just in terms of extraction of labor and resources, or the outsourcing of pollutants and illness, but also in terms of culture and appropriation.

Dr. BAYO AKOMOLAFE on Slowing Down in Urgent Times /155

Plunging into deep pools of philosophy and imagination, Ayana and Bayo’s conversation winds through dimensions of the new and the ancient: Yoruba mythology, children as guides to bewilderment, the strategy of separation, grieving as ceremony, trickster spirits, and the teachings of failure and brokenness.
