Dispossessed Notes on Dirty Work
A lazy person’s strategies for ordinary shape-shifters
This talk looks, feels and listens through the lens of science-fiction, music, static and poetry to the ways we can be in the wake and work towards the urgent project of simultaneously interrogating systems of dispossessions and negation and actively listen to colonized, marginalized and repressed subjects in the archive of the everyday? What does it mean to be sent by histories? Together, we listen through the ways existing in minor keys has brought forward radical and rascal thoughts, practices, movements and riots.
