Arika - Episode 11: To End the World as We Know It

About Arika - Episode 11: To End the World as We Know It

Is this world coming to an end?

Can we start to know and practice the world to come?

Episode 11 brings together five days of film, music, discussion and study to think through our collective incompleteness—arrayed against the ecological and social devastations of a capitalistic, colonial and imperialist worldview that has been obliterating other worlds for over 400 years— to practice how we might exist otherwise, right here and now.

This year’s programme will include contributions from: Ailton Krenak | Karrabing Film Collective | Elizabeth Povinelli | Leanne Betasamosake Simpson | Robyn Maynard | Denise Ferreira da Silva | Ayreen Anastas and Rene Gabri | Houria Bouteldja | Beatriz Santiago Muñoz | Emilia Beatriz | Geni Núñez | Mezna Qato and Sadia Shirazi | Hussein Mitha | Ligia Lewis | Amilcar Packer

Music programme in collaboration with Counterflows: Chuquimamani-Condori | Rashad Becker | Sunik Kim | Nat Raha and Ailie Ormston

Arika return to the Tramway after Episode 10: A Means Without End. Arika celebrate and support connections between art and social change by exploring artistic practice in relationship to critical thought and political organising through research, relationships and encounters. There are other ways to know and be in the world.
