Matters of Care: Practices of Embodied Liberation (Panel)

8 Jun 2023 17:30 - 18:30 Care Pavilion, Mezzanine, Somerset House

17:30-18:30pm - Farzana Khan, Ruth Potts and Jamie Perera

Farzana Khan, co-founder of Healing Justice London, activist and academic, Ruth Potts and sound artist, Jamie Perera draw on somatics, new materialism and sound to explore new ways of being with one another – providing multi-sensory glimpses of collective liberatory abolitionist futures that show that other ways are possible.

Join our panel as they explore how we can “re-pair ‘the world’ so that all (rather than ‘we’) can live in it as well as possible.”

Part of the Sympoeisis programme presented by the Care Pavilion.

We need new ways of being with one another - glimpses of liberatory abolitionist futures that show that other ways are possible. Sympoeisis explores care through practices of knowing and being: from the myths and ceremonies that have allowed people and the more than human world to converse over millenia to care as an act of renewal and resistance. Sympoiesis is a space for wild ideas, for deep listening – a place to ‘make-with’ other life-forms.
