Ritual - Object - Body - Space - Time - Earth

Culture is made living, given life blood, by our practice of it. And so in order to begin to re-invent systems of value, we must create and practice new systems of value. To practice new rituals, daily rituals, with ourselves, each other, the local communities, and the world at large. 

What does a new ritual look like?
How do new rituals interface with already existing rituals that we are attempting to disassemble?
What is the most radical ritual aligned with "new values" that can be thought of at this moment?
What is the smallest gesture?

Poetics of Relation 11- each and every identity is extended through a relationship with the Other 20- in the poetics of Relation, one who is erra...

Denise Ferreira da Silva 1 (life) ÷ 0 (blackness) = ∞ − ∞ or ∞ / ∞: On Matter Beyond the Equation of Value

By
Here are some notes on Denise's text for those interested. Central question: What if blackness referred to rare and obsolete definitions of  matter : respectively, “substance … of which something consists” and “substance without form”? How would this affect the question of value? What would become of the economic value of  things  if they were read as expressions of our modern grammar and its defining logic of obliteration?
