RODA-VIVA: Pamphlet Launch. Texts by Athena Farrokhzad, Gene Ray & Suely Rolnik
Advertisement
We are so excited to host the launch of RODA-VIVA at Det Lilla Rum! 💜
The launch marks the release of the first three pamphlets in roda - soft water on hard stone’s RODA-VIVA series: Athena Farrokhzad’s Imagining the Common in the Face of Annihilation, Gene Ray’s Scatter Patterns: Ghost Elephants, Salvage Commonism and the Wreck of Modernity and Suely Rolnik’s Micropolitics.
For the launch we will bind the pamphlets by hand while reading together. We invite you to come and sew your own copy and share a glass of Brazilian quentão.
Presented at different moments in the programme of roda - soft water on hard stone, the texts in the RODA-VIVA series confront the urgencies of today and share the ambition of trying to grapple with what it means to imagine the world beyond genocide and ecocide. They also have in common a written quality driven by the demand for collective action that interpellates us into the necessity of facing these questions. They look the storm in the eye and propose ways of dealing with the world as it is, insisting that it should be different.
The series is made in collaboration with Carolina Aboarrage from Studio Kader and the publications are printed in small editions not intended for the monetary economy. Instead each pamphlet is distributed as a gift. We invite you to pass them on, to give them away, to send them by post, to copy them and bind them and make them circulate further. From hand to hand, from mouth to mouth, we can be many.

Athena Farrokhzad is an Iranian-Swedish poet, playwright and translator whose work explores migration, racism, war and political resistance.
Gene Ray is an art theorist, writer and professor at HEAD in Geneva. Ray’s work explores art, colonialism, capitalism, ecological crises and collective forms of resistance.

.
roda - soft water on hard stone is a curatorial programme generating conversations with artists and thinkers that unfold in various formats on three continents and the ocean in between. In the face of accelerating interlaced crises birthed by colonial, capitalist and extractivist logics, roda - soft water on hard stone searches for ways to develop sensibilities of co-existence across human and more-than-human worlds that can guide us towards better ways of living, learning, making and believing.
Roda soft water on hard stone is funded by the Bikuben Foundation.
