We Will Dance With Mountains: Into the Cracks.
This is the fifth iteration of this online course.
Inspired by Bayo Akomolafe’s construction of ‘blackness’ as a magical counterhegemonic quest for cracks in the Anthropos, instigated by the African Anthropocene, situated at Afro-diasporic sites of loss and queer power, and conceived as a deepening commitment to a politics beyond state recognition, this course-festival is an effort to spark an end-of-time emancipatory, decolonial, trans-local vocation of making sanctuary that is heavily indebted to the story and emergence of Candomblé spiritualities in Bahia, Brazil.
Like the most previous version of the course, through curated sessions, shared explorations, emergent rituals, lectures, and side events, Into the Cracks! longs to push toward the unthought, the yet-to-be-tried, and the surprising, by exploring new nuances and complexities in the postactivism field summoned by Bayo Akomolafe."To think with the immensely helpful formulations of Peruvian scholar, Marisol de la Cadena, ‘We Will Dance with Mountains: Into the Cracks!’ is a course in postactivism, “but not only.” https://course.bayoakomolafe.net/#Course-4-You

IOWB: in our white bodies experience anti racism work group The intent of this group is to work with anti-racism material from a perspective of living with-in a body identified as ‘white’ - working with embodiment / in-our-bodies / soul / somatic / anything-you-want-to-call-it sorts of practices.
We understand that racism is not just something that happens in the thinking mind; it also affects all of the body's tissues. We do practices to investigate and hopefully un-do some of the more-unconscious body response patterns that happen in relation to racialized moments.
WHO FOR:This group is open to any-all-bodies.
HOW MUCH:This is a volunteer space. No monetary donations, offerings, or fees will be collected for facilitators who identify as white.
WHERE” Zoom. Link posted in the fb event.
WHEN: we are planning to start a 3 month "deep-dive" series,
for august, september, october. this "deep dive" will be similar to how our sessions have gone thus far, but more in-depth; we will still meet ONCE a MONTH, but we will explore a topic for a 3 month journey.
WHO BY: A rotating group of facilitators. The facilitator for the current month is posted in our fb event.
