COUNTER COSMOGONIES — A POETIC CEREMONY

In the organizer's words:

Cosmogony refers to the mythological ideas about the creation of the world. Four deities, four elements, four colors move through circular time in a cosmic soundscape. An imagined deep sea and the infinite universe combine to form a meeting place where mythological deities of femininity, destruction and rebirth appear. Nemesis and the air, Kali and the fire, Olokun and the water, Ishtar and the earth become representatives of origin and chaotic order. Inspired by the Jamaican philosopher Sylvia Wynter and her essay The Ceremony Must Be Found: After Humanism from 1984, the performance combines philosophical and mythological counter-concepts to Western-dominated world narratives.
