This open call is for you to participate in the creation of a collaborative cohort involving discussion and research, group crits, peer support and in ‘World Building’ for a peaceful, just future for all life; with a particular focus on the farmed nonhuman, the health of the soil, land, sea, birds and wildlife. Work could also focus on human-machine relations. There may be opportunities to host workshops during the final exhibition that will be open to the public from 4-16 December at the Handbag Factory Gallery in London.
Participants will meet for a minimum of five times over five months for 1.5 hours each time online. The first online meeting will be followed by a day’s workshop in August in London at The Hub (part of Camberwell College of Art). These first meetings will be ‘world building’ events.
This Radical futurist artistic experiment starts from the premise that we live in the post-anthropocentric world of 2065, and are engaged in repairing the damage to relationships between humans and nonhumans, between humans and the earth, and between rich and poor Nations. Perhaps we are Chimera or part machine. Our artworks may be artefacts from 2065, or may be archival artefacts that recall the violence from the past.
We expect that this will be an exciting experience of collaborative research within a cohort of about 15 artists interested in research-based making and post-antrhropocentric/post humanist Justice. Radical Futurism is proposed as an activist research methodology for bringing about change.
