“To 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”.
Sara Ahmed · Queer Phenomenology: Orientations, Objects, Others

critical plant studies and perception theories (i.a. Laura Sewell’s ecological perception, Karen L. F. Houle’s concept of becoming plant, an invitation of Natasha Myers to vegetalize human sensorium)

reflections about Meshwork Choreography by Daisuke Muto, who uses the idea of meshwork after Tim Ingold looking at different strategies of (intercultural) collaboration in the field of choreography 

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).”

folk perspectives on authorship and schemes of artistic production

indigenous perspectives such as place-thought, which Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe scholar Vanessa Watts describes as “a theoretical understanding of the world via a 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.”    
Vanessa Watts · Indigenous place-thought & agency amongst humans and non-humans (First Woman and Sky Woman go on a European world tour!)

In the Polish countryside, echoes of times when people considered that “even the stone was not a mute, passive, impersonal thing” persisted into the 20th century - as in the saying: “when stones grew, they were soft.”
Kacper Pobłocki · Chamstwo

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.)”
