The Superhero Summit / 2
The work of Valentina Karga, Elena Mazzi and Chiara Sgaramella connects creative practice with ecological and social concerns to imagine alternative interactions between natural and social systems. In this session they will introduce different case studies that describe communities of care embracing both human and non human agents, which embody other modes of existence and collaboration in response to the crisis of the neoliberal paradigm. Karga presents a visualisation session to move beyond ontologies of separation and the binary oppositions man/ woman and technology/nature; Sgaramella considers networks of care, conviviality and resistance; and Mazzi speaks to the struggles for rights over traditional lands of the Mapuche people in Argentinan Patagonia. They will then propose a collective exercise where the participants will be invited to engage with some of the ideas explored in the case studies and create images revolving around metaphors of complexity and interdependence that may condense different strategies to move beyond European and North American anthropocentric discourses.
