Abstract
Converging in the question of a polycrisis, and the possibility of operating other imaginaries, this panel exchanges on methods situated in different practices and that, channelled through storytelling, manifest as listening, sharing, and re-telling. We come together to understand how methods of decolonial listening, drop-in rehearsals, collective cosmogram making, and infrables uphold, expand, and interweave with other practices beyond our individual inquiries. How do different ways of knowing and documenting come into contact, and how can surprising coalitions, remembered networks, and reimagined infrastructures be formed without collapsing into everflattening sameness?
These methods include cosmogram-making as a participatory practice for collective annotation, reconfiguration and inter-operability of climate infrastructure imaginary; drop-in rehearsals as site-specific situations for sharing concerns with environmental governance that inventorise aesthetic and narrative strategies together; decolonial listening [Vázquez 2020] as contributing to a less dominant relation to the world within the context of colonial inheritance; infrables as a solidary praxis that makes negative use-cases and un-fixing bug reports into fables. By bringing together these methods, we hope to provide a connective tissue of specificities from which then language, representations, listening situations and other forms of fable-making-practices get to manifest.
The panel will take the shape of three rehearsals of each methodological framework to create a site for the inter-operability of practices towards modes of sustainaing, resilience and solidarities. These rehearsals will navigate the way we work with levels of transparency, obscurity, knowledge source, knowledge permission, expertise, and the material and semiotic conditions required for the praxis of such methods.
