ASYMMETRY STUDY GROUP – BIWEEKLY ONLINE SESSIONS

First session: August 2, 2020 (19-21h CET time): Potential History – Unlearning Imperialism (Ariella Aïsha Azoulay)
Second session: August 16, 2020 (19-21h CET time): Potential History – Unlearning Imperialism (Ariella Aïsha Azoulay)

Last year PAF introduced an additional fourth rule: “Mind Asymmetries” which has inaugurated a process of acknowledging and addressing the asymmetries circulating in the space. In order to maintain and open up this process we would like to start an online study group which will be meeting regularly on Sunday evenings (19-21h CET time).

We would like to study texts and initiatives that will help us to analyze the ways in which the colonial, imperialist, and oppressive capitalist system, in which we all operate, reproduces itself within and through PAF. We also would like to invite people who have been doing anti-racist, anti-imperialist, and social justice work and organizing to come and share with us their experience and help us question and think through alternatives for our individual and collective functioning.

We would like to rethink the ways in which life and its reproduction is organized, to think of modes of redistribution and production that would allow us to live otherwise.

This study group will run in parallel with the current experimentation in self-organisation at PAF and is meant to contribute to the unlearning and rethinking of practices and consolidated discourses.
