Inheriting

Inheriting

Inheriting is the difficult work of getting to know entangled pastpresents, answering to our own complicity in worldly cycles of life and death, and making everyday speculative moves to agitate, imagine, and put into motion futurities that take as their deep concern a hope for co-creating a more liveable future. We propose that inheriting 

·   is an ethical and political practice of care-fully, imperfectly, and modestly, getting to know the worlds we co-create in all their messiness, injustice, extinction, and hope;

·   is an ongoing practice that involves noticing, studying, answering to, and re-crafting the particular constellations of relations, ethics, politics, lives, materialities, debts, and deaths that we make and that make us; 

·   demands intentionality without a bounded trajectory that already maps a past and future;  

·   knows time as an always entangled bundle of pastpresents; 

·   disrupts and re-orients us through a tripled labour of accounting, answering, and risking toward a more liveable world.
