Cultivating Care in Times of Loss
Bayo Akomolafe, PhD
Author, Teacher, and Trans-Public Intellectual
Workshop Info ▼The world is undergoing tumultuous moments of war and strife. Through these storms, a conversation about healing and wellbeing persists – urged on by traditions that stabilize healing as an ideal.
In this workshop, Dr. Akomolafe invites a reconsideration of the centrality of healing and investigates how some notions of healing get in the way of care. Suggesting that therapy is the political manufacture of the boundaries of the body, Dr. Akomolafe discusses the shadows of a trauma fundamentalism that is increasingly popular to contemporary expressions of care, and traces out a history of trauma that connects it to the rise of industrialization. His concept of “abtherapy” will also be examined.
Bayo Akomolafe, Ph.D. is a widely celebrated international speaker, posthumanist thinker, poet, teacher, public intellectual, essayist, and the author of We Will Tell Our Own Story: The Lions of Africa Speak. He is also the visionary Founder of The Emergence Network and host of the online post-activist course, ‘We Will Dance with Mountains.’
“Even just to have a drink of water is to ignite pathways across space-time, across species, across multi-dimensions of how drinking a cup of water is the creation and the demise of worlds”
