Decoloniality Dialogues Collective: (Re)Storying, (Re)Membering, and (Re)Visioning Spirals for Decolonial Possibilities

• In Event: Decoloniality Dialogues Collective: (Re)storying, (Re)membering, and (Re)visioning Spirals for Decolonial Possibilities

Abstract

This session utilizes storytelling, guided reflection, and speculative meditation to process the experiences and questions that we, the Decoloniality Dialogues Collective, have engaged toward decolonial disruption and educational (re)imaginings. We will converge the ontologies, questions, and stories that animate our work, and invite attendees to reflect, speculate, learn, unlearn, and dream in dialogue with us as a means of expanding critical decolonial praxis.
Storytelling is an essential tool in this session. As a practice and way of knowing, storytelling nests relationality within and beyond spaces; storytelling creates a space where we can unpack the ways we embody and carry colonial jackets, while also reflecting, dreaming and speculating about the possibilities that are afforded beyond colonial structures.
