As philosophers and activists Bayo Akomolafe and Marta Benavides recently observed, even though today’s urgent existential threats have been with us for a long time, “today gifts us with the appreciation of a different kind of urgency, one which comes from the realization that the system is not the cause of our problems. They argue that “we are still tethered to the deadening values of consumerism, and have not reclaimed our roles as living co-creators of a society we prefer to live in.”
If you are ready to take up the challenge of world-making, this course is for you. Led by humour theorist and educator, Dr. Elaine Decker, and by body theorist and ecozoic futurist, Dr. Cassandra Wells, participants are not invited to fix a broken system, but to embrace their capacities to imagine, create, and embrace other worlds.
Get ready to Transform Tragedy! Undermine Authority! Debunk Dominance! Summon Silliness! Play with Power! Evolve Ignorance! Laugh in the Face of Doom!
The times are serious; Let’s laugh!
