#voicesfrom Online Talk: Listening Pauses

This talk will be an encounter of artists & activists speaking and listening from the depths of their practices during and beyond the time of Covid-19.
They will be addressing issues such as: What is this moment of suspension we are experiencing? What do different perspectives and realities of confinement tell? What can ancestral technologies of resistance and creative strategies of crossing teach? What futures are we manifesting? What does a “return to normality” mean and for whom?
