Ways of learning to be human with each other

This post is to collect links to ways of learning that place us in relation to each other and the planet.
It is an ongoing collection, fluid, and may be changed or corrected as any point.

Dwayne Trevor Donald: assoc prof of education Alberta University of Paperchase Cree and Norwegian heritage. Proposes indigenous métissage as a methodology for learning using life writing to make stories that are braided together to show the relationships between all story makers. As example he uses objects to prompt the stories which show how (Aboriginal - Canadian) relations are 'a lot more complicated than we are led to believe'.

Dwayne Trevor Donald: 'ethical relationality is an ecological understanding of human relationality that does not deny difference, but rather seeks to more deeply understand how our different histories and experiences position us in relation to each other. This form of relationality is ethical because it does not over look or invisibilize the particular historical, cultural, and social contexts from which a particular person understands and experiences living in the world, It puts these considerations at the forefront of engagements across frontiers of difference.'

In the Salon del Pueblo Fragil: Arte Australiano Actual

Art's HIstories

Dr Kellie Jones acknowledged for challenging the dominant art history paradigm with a MacArthur Fellowship

" Jones has devoted her life to challenging the oversimplified and whitewashed mainstream narratives of art history, incorporating artists of color into the canon and the conversation. In addition to serving as an associate professor in the Department of Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University, Jones has curated groundbreaking exhibitions including “Energy/Experimentation: Black Artists and Abstraction, 1964–1980” (2006), “Now Dig This! Art and Black Los Angeles, 1960–1980” (2011), and “Witness: Art and Civil Rights in the Sixties” (2014). "

Anthropocene, Capitalocene, Chthulucene

Donna Haraway
Tentacular Thinking: Anthropocene, Capitalocene, Chthulucene 
e-flux #75 09/2016

'With all the unfaithful offspring of the sky gods, with my littermates who find a rich wallow in multispecies muddles, I want to make a critical and joyful fuss about these matters. I want to stay with the trouble, and the only way I know to do that is in generative joy, terror, and collective thinking.'

'It’s not the end of the world, but it is the end of pre-history. It is time to announce in the marketplace of social media that the God who still hid in the worldview of an ecology that was self-correcting, self-balancing and self-healing – is dead.'
