POOL: What Can We Learn When We Find New Ways to Gather?
2020
2020
Workshop series created and facilited with with Annie Canto and Nura Ali, through the Satellite x DESIS Residency.
POOL fosters community-based practices that explore new ways of gathering and collective learning. Anti-racist pedagogy, decolonial methodology, and peer-to-peer solidarity make up the core of our practices. With these interests at the heart of our work, this project expands our understanding of community support and activism by exploring new ways to gather that embody relational and mutually supportive ways of being, and challenge the hegemonic structures that disconnect us from the communities and ecologies we live within. We explore new kinds of connectivity that can be fostered in this time of precarity and to learn from the practices of labour organizers, artist/activists, and social justice scholars who are beginning to transition their work to and from distant spaces.
