As part of Arika’s recent Episode 11 in Glasgow, ‘To End The World As We Know It’, a recording of a conversation on “the notion of pluriverses, and plural worldviews and life ways (unpicking) the colonial imposition of linear time or teleology and the fixation on historical continuity.” In which the artists discuss “Western society as being obsessed with merchandise, and the extent to which this has collapsed into the subject and the body, and what it means to invent a poetics capable of freeing us from the desire for merchandise,” exploring ways that “organisms, human and non-human, recognize their distinct poetics of life” and “how these work against capitalism and fascism, as a denunciation of political alliances, and maybe even of ‘politics’.”
