Arika - Episode 11: To End the World as We Know It
Is this world coming to an end?
Can we start to know and practice the world to come?
Episode 11 brings together five days of film, music, discussion and study to think through our collective incompleteness—arrayed against the ecological and social devastations of a capitalistic, colonial and imperialist worldview that has been obliterating other worlds for over 400 years— to practice how we might exist otherwise, right here and now.
This year’s programme will include contributions from: Karrabing Film Collective | Elizabeth Povinelli | Leanne Betasamosake Simpson | Denise Ferreira da Silva | Ayreen Anastas & Rene Gabri | Beatriz Santiago Muñoz | Chuquimamani-Condori | Ailton Krenak | Ligia Lewis | Houria Bouteldja | Rashad Becker | Françoise Vergès | Amilcar Packer | Robyn Maynard | Geni Núñez | Mezna Qato & Sadia Shirazi | Emilia Beatriz | Hussein Mitha | Sunik Kim | Nat Raha | Ailie Ormston | Masa Nazzal | River MacAskill | Amirah Silmi | Hannah Proctor | Gracie Mae Bradley | Mijke van der Drift | Elwood Jimmy | Harry Josephine Giles | Avery F. Gordon
Music programme in collaboration with Counterflows: Chuquimamani-Condori | Rashad Becker | Sunik Kim | Nat Raha and Ailie Ormston
