Weaving Temporal Realities

Tuesday, October 22 6-8pm

PRESENTED BY Ingrid Raphaël with NSISIM Studio

What are non-linear temporal traditions? How did Black and Indigenous philosophies define temporality? How does nature embody time? 

A workshop on the poetics of water, seashells, memory, and textiles as nonlinear structures of time, interwoven with liberatory traditions of Black and Indigenous thinkers, storytellers, and weavers. In discussion, making, and object-sharing, you’ll craft a personalized time-map and co-create a manifesto for dismantling oppressive time-systems. 

Bring an object that symbolizes your relationship to time, and together, we’ll weave new temporal realities – for BIPOC folks only.

NSISIM Studio is a slow burn transdisciplinary practice rooted in cultural memory, ecology, art, poetry, storytelling, and temporality. A poetic rendering, NSISIM, emerges from an imagination that <connects the dots>  <moves>  <weaves>  <dances>  between the personal and our environment. 

WEAVING TEMPORAL REALITIES is the first offering of courses geared at the curious wanderer, educator, poet, researcher, coder, worldbuilder, hacker, and artist. To stay tuned for 2025 course offerings, follow @nsisim.studio
