SELF-HELP FOR CYBORGS
It’s time to rise up against the machines!
Join the resistance at our secret rendez-vous spots in Tottenham, Oxfordshire, and online. We will:
- Write slogans, chants, and songs to convince others that humans are still worth fighting for
- Experiment with comrade Donna Haraway’s proposal that we should embrace cyborg existence
- Share strategies and tactics for fighting back against our robot overlords
18:00–20:00 30th Nov online (sign up below)
​PATHS... A PLAYSHOP ON GETTING LOST
What kind of traveler are you? A happy wanderer, or all about the destination? A journey can be approached in many different ways: as a voyage into the unknown or as a search for somewhere to call home; as a straight line, a meandering road, or a labyrinth that turns back on itself. Join us to:
- Dance, draw and tell the story of your journey
- Build bridges, tunnels, and portals to discover where your path connects with the paths of others
- Play movement games to experiment with leading and following and see what it’s like to voyage with other people
13:00–16:00, Dec 14th at The Post Bar, London ***New Date***
​​​​​DECODING THE ANTHROPOCENE
The aliens have landed in Tower Hamlets and the fate of the planet rests in the hands of College of Modern Anxiety's panel on interspecies communications to help them understand the perplexing world of humans. Their first question—what does it mean when someone from their spin class asks if they want “to grab a coffee?”
We’ll:
- Use semiotics to decode the myths we tell each other about ourselves
- Experiment with different ways of seeing, and with the limitations of seeing as a way to understand the world
- Invent new myths to guide us towards the interspecies future that we want to build
