Wat betekent het voor ons ethisch vermogen en politiek bewustzijn dat we in het tijdperk van het antropoceen een gevoel hebben van collectieve verantwoordelijkheid voor het milieu?

Op 22 mei vertoont Keti Chukhrov haar film Love Machines:

“Love Machines questions the dismissal of anthropocentrism, folk, and identity politics of today’s shift to a post-humanist philosophy. The film brings forth the confrontation between the animal, human, and over-human (bio-techno-intelligence) forces that clash in the search for collective sensitivity and discourses of emancipation. On the one hand the outdated modes of human existence fall into the trap of essentialist values, on the other hand the accelerationist ethics cast the majority of people as retarding the technological upgrading of the “human.” Is then, the human an “anthropos” at all, a species with thinking capacities, whose evolutional domination is gradually expiring, or is it an ethical condition that has been a project since numerous revolutions but has never reached its goal? If it is an extinguished realia then the main question is surely the following: What is the subjectivity that would at the same time strive for bio-elemental disjunction and bio-technological hybridity and claim the political event; and is it possible to sustain such a program at all? Who will be those whose cognitive and ethical expectations still cling to the notion of “human”—are they excluded or considered to be a backward surplus population? And would not the dogmatism of the post-humanist condition occur to be as despotic as the “humanist” once had been?”

In all continents, people have built matriarchal cosmologies sustained by complex rituals. In the advent of main modern religions and after centuries of colonizing invasions, the goddesses of antiquity were suppressed by the patriarchal structures that consolidated our era. However, they found ways to speak to us in the language of patterns, melodies, and poems. This workshop uses the voice as a method to reveal the presence of goddesses.
