co-incide suggests how different things happen at the same moment, a happening
that bring things near to other things, whereby the nearness shapes the shape
of each thing”.

“I am located in the margin. I make a definite distinction between that marginality which is imposed by oppressive structures and that marginality one chooses as site of resistance - as location of radical openness and possibility.”

shift from network
& inclusion to decolonial politics of matter discussed i.a. by Dimitris
Papadopoulos:
“This decolonial politics of matter attempts to restore justice step by
step through everyday practice (…). In politics of matter, justice becomes
ingrained in the materiality of being: in the soil, in the water, in our bodily
tissues, limbs, organs, cells, genes, and molecules. Decolonizing settler land
is one thing; decolonizing matter is another (even if they are tightly
connected).”

physical embodiment.”
“Place-Thought is based upon the premise that land is
alive and thinking and that humans and non-humans derive agency through the
extensions of these thoughts.”

an
invitation of Valeria
Graziano to think about artistic practices as elements of partisan social
reproduction, rooted in a pre-figurative approach transplanted from the social
justice movements to cultural/artistic sector:
prefigurative practice addresses
the “basic” phantasies that solidify “institutional objects that are never
questioned (roles, aims, modalities, economies, temporalities, etc.)”
