Thinking-Feeling with Living Earth
Workshop by Weaving Realities collective at Towards Post-Extractive Culture

Stedelijkmuseum Amsterdam

24 February 2023

————————————————————

In this workshop, we did exercises of  Sentipensar (thinking through feeling) with water, for changing the ways we relate with an Earth that is alive. How can we recognize water not just as a resource but an important element since the beginning of life? What memories does water hold? How to think like water and move like water? How to become the rain, the river or the ancient swamp in this land?

’Towards a Post-Extractive Culture'  initiated by Disobedient Futures, is a gathering of artists, activists, earth-defenders, cultural workers, indigenous knowledge keepers, radical researchers, community organisers, and storytellers for a world of many worlds.

The journey begins with a three-day gathering exploring new approaches and alternatives that will help us escape the extractivist ‘trap’ of the modern, colonial, heteropatriarchal, capitalist paradigm.
