Re/membering Our Rooted Selves

What are your roots? What is your relationship with ancestry and heritage? How do they inform you now? How do you want to walk in this world? What do you wish to contribute? This is an invitation to re/claim that which has been left behind, feeding us as we move into the future. A call to re/connect to memory and ancestry, dreaming and imagination, and re/root through story-telling.

Wayfinding out of modernity’s haze with Yin Paradies

As people who live in the throes of modernity, it may feel as though we are living within a haze. Like a fish in water, though, it may be hard to realise that there is a haze to begin with. After all, as the popular quote from William Gibson goes: "We can't see our culture very well, because we see with it." In Week 4 of Re/membering our Rooted Selves, we learn from Professor Yin Paradies, an animist anarchist activist Wakaya man who is committed to understanding and interrupting the devastating impacts of modern societies.
