Weaving Tight Enough: Forming Solidarities and “Fixing” the Situation
EPISODE 3: Weaving Tight Enough: Forming Solidarities and “Fixing” the Situation
with Cog•nate Collective, Vishal Jugdeo, Patrick Staff, and Elana Mann.
Moderated by Mario Ontiveros.
One of the underlying concerns of this conversation is identified by Amy of Cog•nate Collective when she says, “How can we knit together our capacities? Can we stitch together, or weave tight enough so that we can catch the people who are falling through?”
When these artists came together for this conversation in February 2020, we knew about the virus and all felt something coming but the magnitude and roller coaster of the events of the past 5 months was unimaginable.
And yet, this conversation intersects with the present in so many ways. For one, the artists struggle with state definitions and institutions that limit humanity, that diminish and displace humans. They also talk about how the process of beginning to undo state violence and institutional racism, for example, requires not a speeding up but a slowing down, to assess points of alignment and to form solidarities. They shed light on the role that art and artists can play in these processes.
