Grounding unknowing as part of the work we do as a community: fostering onto-epistemic openness

In this article we work through what grounds the work of our community and the role knowing, unknowing and unlearning play. Drawing on the tools and questions that the Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures Collective provide, we work through our experience of opening up spaces for sustaining and sustainable change. We explore the dilemma of walking between two worlds of different kinds of knowing. We consider what it means to wrestle dreams into reality as we rebirth an older world, in the shell of the tarnished new.

Abstract

In this article we work through what grounds the work of our community and the role knowing, unknowing and unlearning play. Drawing on the tools and questions that the Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures Collective provide, we work through our experience of opening up spaces for sustaining and sustainable change. We explore the dilemma of walking between two worlds of different kinds of knowing. We consider what it means to wrestle dreams into reality as we rebirth an older world, in the shell of the tarnished new.
