Day 4 of Arika – Episode 11: To End the World As We Know It, five days of film, music, discussion and study

Saturday at the Episode foregrounds revolutionary love, aesthetic sociality and abolitionist worldbuilding from leading Indigenous voices from what gets called in the west; Brazil, Australia, Canada and Algeria.

Imperialism and ongoing colonialism have been ending worlds for as long as they have been in existence, and Indigenous and Black peoples have been building worlds and then rebuilding worlds for as long as we have been in existence. Relentlessly building worlds through unspeakable violence and loss. Building worlds and living in them anyway.
Robyn Maynard and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson

The practice of North African Indigenous revolutionary love, in the face of European capitalist violence and settler colonialism, with one of the most vital anti-colonial thinkers in Europe.

She creates incendiary, polemical writing often delivered in a direct, poetic and passionate tone. 


If there is a future to imagine, it is ancestral
Ailton Krenak and Amilcar Packer
1.30pm to 3.30pm
Talk, Workshop
Tramway 4
Access: Live Captioning, Portuguese into English Translation
Tickets: Tickets: Free - First Come First Served

Ailton Krenak is considered one of the great leaders of the Brazilian indigenous movement. In this conversation with Chilean artist and curator Amilcar Packer he will share tools, gestures and ideas drawn from Indigenous worlding, against the false universalism of the European, capitalist ideology.

…when we say "world," we usually think of this one, a "world" in constant dispute triggered by a management that has metastasized: capitalism… The challenge I propose is to imagine cartographies, layers of worlds, in which the narratives are so diverse that we don't have to come to blows when evoking different creation stories. Ailton Krenak


Rehearsals for Living
Leanne Betasamosake Simpson and Robyn Maynard 
4pm to 6pm
Performance, Talk
Tramway 1
Access: BSL, Live Captioning
Tickets: Saturday Evening Pass

Leanne Betasamosake Simpson is a renowned Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg scholar, writer and artist, who has been widely recognised as one of the most compelling Indigenous voices of her generation. Robyn Maynard is a Black feminist author and scholar based in Toronto. Their book Rehearsals for Living is the most affecting, direct, personal, accessible yet clear eyed and edifying abolitionist text of the last 5 years: a series of incredible letters that emanate from the co-mingled, interinanimation of Indigenous resurgence, the Black Radical Tradition and abolitionist practice.


The Ancestral Present
Karrabing Film Collective

Karrabing Film Collective are regularly cited as one of the most globally influential Indigenous art practices of the last decade. Karrabing consists of over 50 members, all but one, Indigenous stakeholders for their land around Anson Bay, north of Darwin, Australia. This is a chance to see the films, and to talk about them in person with some of their indigenous members. It’s an evening long conversational event: we’ll show some of their films, and also talk about how they attend to the memory and practice of the ancestral present and the ancestral catastrophe that Karrabing and their more-than-human world find themselves facing. 


Full schedule, programme notes and access details for all Episode events is available on the Arika website.
