In this episode curator Eva Posas, who is also involved in Into Nature’s upcoming exhibition Haunted by Waters, and political philosopher Malcolm Ferdinand are in conversation about various topics addressed in Ferdinand’s book Decolonial Ecology - Thinking from the Caribbean World from 2022.
The book calls for real climate justice and consequently for the deep transformation of how we live and who gets to live. In this context the book offers both an analysis of slavery as a mode of production in Western modernity and a visionary political framework for a decolonized version of environmentalism. In the podcast, Posas and Ferdinand amongst others discuss the role of language, and ways to imagine a pluralist, multi-species, intergenerational world-making, a “worldy-ecology” as Ferdinand puts it.
