Indigenous perspectives on interrupting unsustainable habits, entitlements and desires on the path to imagining wiser futures:
Discussion/Workshop led by members of the Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures Collective
There will be 3 parts to our online workshop. The first part will be an introduction to our work, entailing some guiding discussions and questions and exercises around interrupting our own individual habits, entitlements and desires that may be preventing us from imagining wiser, more sustainable futures for ourselves, for the non-human, and the planet in a time of collapse.
The second part will entail a break, where participants will have an 1-2 hours to be with the guiding questions/discussion/exercises on their own.
The final part, we will be to gather back for a discussion around the questions.
We ask that if participants cannot fully participate for all three parts, that they commit to at least the first part of the workshop. For a sense of the work that we are doing, and some examples of compass/guiding questions and provocations, please visit our collective website at www.decolonialfutures.net.

Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures Collective is an arts/research collective that convenes in different forms for collaborations around different kinds of artistic, pedagogical, cartographic, and relational experiments that aim to identify and de-activate colonial habits of being, and to gesture towards the possibility of decolonial futures. This workshop will be guided by some of the foundational work of the book Towards Braiding, co-written by Elwood Jimmy, Vanessa Andreotti, and Sharon Stein.
