Losing Ourselves Together | with Báyò Akómoláfé

This recording is from an event in Santa Cruz with Báyò Akómoláfé, a unique and visionary postactivist thinker who poses unconventional theories about how to respond to the collective challenges of our times. The thought project of postactivism proceeds from, and is deeply rooted in, Indigenous traditions around the world, and invites us to recognize that we are part of the more-than-human world—a necessary acknowledgement to help shift our strategies of justice outside of human-centered systems of thought. Bayo invites the opening of cracks, so that we may fall through and discover creative approaches that might involve dissolution over solutions, generative failure over linear success, and emergence over certainty. This conversation is an invitation into the cracks.
