DESCRIPTION:Bayo Akomolafe is a posthumanist thinker, philosopher, poet, author and 
 founder of the Emergence Network, a planet-wide initiative that seeks to 
 convene communities in new ways in response to the critical, civilizational 
 challenges we face as a species. Through Bayo's writings, speeches, and 
 work he inspires new ways of thinking and being in the world, inviting us 
 to ask questions that undermine everything we are told to believe.\n\nOne 
 of the concepts that often inspires those who follow Bayo's work is 
 postactivism, which, according to Bayo, "...is my way of describing the 
 flows and possibilities that proceed from the moment when things no longer 
 fit." The moment when things no longer fit that we now find ourselves 
 in-full of trauma, disaster, conflict, and uncertainty-feels urgent and 
 leads most to calls for urgent global action, but Bayo and postactivism 
 sense the generativity of slowing down, which is more than what humans do 
 or can do.\n\nThe thought project of postactivism proceeds from, and is 
 deeply rooted in, Indigenous traditions around the world, and invites us to 
 recognize that we are part of the more-than-human world-a necessary 
 acknowledgement that might help shift our ideas of activism and justice 
 outside of classical humanist framings, systems, and socialities.\n\nThis 
 postactivist approach both creates space for and lives within the spaces of 
 breakthroughs, seismic shifts, openings, cracks, and fissures. These spaces 
 and openings bring new flow, possibility, creativity, and inspiration for 
 repair.\n\nJoin us for a rich and engaging evening with Bayo and artist, 
 writer, mindfulness practitioner, facilitator, and emerging filmmaker 
 Damali Robertson as they explore postactivism and how this concept, which 
 is so imbued with possibility and creativity, can be supportive of pathways 
 to 'healing' ourselves, our children, our ancestors, and the 
 more-than-human world-or better yet, going beyond healing 
 altogether.\n\nSliding scale $25 to $45.\n
