In this episode, we explore collective imaginations of the past and future, and different cultural understandings of time. Connecting our heritage, actions and legacies, how can we create a caring world for generations to come?
The guests are Afrofuturist writer, filmmaker, dancer and thinker Ytasha Womack in conversation with public philosopher Roman Krznaric; artist, writer, curator, researcher and pleasure activist Ama Josephine Budge; and Māori musician, artist and practitioner Jerome Kavanagh.
Episode Notes
Join Afrofuturist writer, filmmaker, dancer and thinker Ytasha Womack, author of Afrofuturism: The World of Black Sci Fi & Fantasy Culture, in conversation with public philosopher Roman Krznaric, author of The Good Ancestor: How to think long term in a short-term world, to consider what it means to be a good ancestor, whether our brains are built for long-term thinking and the importance of re-examining the past to imagine different and better futures.
Artist, writer, curator, researcher and pleasure activist Ama Josephine Budge shares extracts from No Home Left Behind, a piece of speculative fiction about a sentient home standing over swelling waters. The work imagines futures of care in the midst of a climate crisis, drawing on erased pasts, archives and embodied memories.
Māori musician, artist and practitioner Jerome Kavanagh from Aotearoa New Zealand, shares a sound healing experience, using Taonga pūoro instruments that reflect the sound of the natural environment from the mountains to the sea as tools to heal and promote a healthy body, mind and spirit. Taonga Puro holds the vibration of the natural world and when played this vibration resonates within us and helps to trace our genealogy through our matriarchal line and reconnect to the intelligence and power of nature.
A BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art and Wellcome Collection collaboration. Presented by Nwando Ebizie. Music by Nkisi. Sound by Axel Kacoutié. A Reduced Listening Production, produced by Georgia Moodie and exec produced by Alannah Chance.
