Warming Up to the Pluriverse - Talk #6: On being plural
 
In this talk, we meet Camila Marambio – a being as plural as the worlds she inhabits, falls in love with, and seeks to protect. Camila is the founder of Ensayos  a nomadic interdisciplinary research program that has been collectively unraveling the eco politics of the archipelago of Karokynka a.k.a. Tierra del Fuego for about a decade now. A mesmerising talk about cosmic changes, circular stories, a pluriversal owl and the notion of with-with.


This talk is part of "In Search of the Pluriverse", a quest curated in 2020-2021 by artist/researcher Sophie Krier and designer/editor Erik Wong in the context of The Travelling Academy. This exchange programme on forms of formal and informal learning is an initiative of Het Nieuwe Instituut Rotterdam in partnership with Dutch diplomatic posts in and beyond Europe. In the light of the pandemic, Wong & Krier start their quest for the pluriverse from home with Arturo Escobar’s 2018 book Designs for the Pluriverse in hand. Through short, animated talks with making collectives, they dive into four urgent themes taken from the book: autonomy, world-making, the vernacular, and (de)futuring. In this way, each talk will be connected to a specific passage of the book.
