I had the pleasure and the honor to contribute a workshop on “Togethering”- to reimagine ways to engage in relational practices in highly charged politically changing environments. Invited by the research Space HIVES with support from the Disability Futures FELLOWSHIP, at Michigan University.
How do we attune to the space in between self-and more-than-self in institutional spaces? How do we cultivate ways of being together that engage with cultural expectations and —the emotions (shame, fear, uneasiness,..) that emerge when we cross these lines? how do we train modes of ‘togethering’ that allow for emotional expression and critical engagement with these norms? How do we insist in modes of togethering despite dominant divisive logics? How do we talk about health justice, equity, and structural conditions with new words?
Do you have HIVES yet? A research workshop that reimagines the communities of the future, stretching towards a plurality of possible tomorrows that refuse the homogenous, all-chrome, all-superhuman narratives that occupy the temporal space beyond the now.
