We are more than delighted to invite you to the launch of <<the material="" dimension="" of="" clouds="">> by Pluriversidad Nómada. The book is bilingual (English and Spanish) and will be presented in English by its editors Lucía Egaña Rojas and Ce Quimera. On the 30th of April, at 18:30 at the space of AMOQA (Manousogianni 6).
The material dimension of Clouds presents narratives around sciences, technologies, extractivism, the environmental crisis, the relationship to (misnomered) "natural resources", as well as those between bodies (both human and non-human), the living and supposed non-living. With this book we wish to approach the material dimension we inhabit, knowing this draws us closer to long-term memory, diverse speculations, and abandoning what is human as our analytical matrix, among other outcomes. Contemplating the volatile and aerial idea of what is often called "the cloud" connects us with the ground, with land, and also with what is stored at the bottom of the sea: thousands and thousands of kilometers of cables that transport information between devices and servers. We are caught up in a colonial and extractivist history that is not only about so-called "raw materials" or the internet, but also about deeper layers of meaning, of bodies, energies, spiritualities and knowledge that continue to sustain us. In this context we believe that the concept of "climate change" obscures deep historical implications, so we prefer to connect with a long-term memory of the Earth and that which inhabits it to address this current moment, weaving fragments into a partial and incomplete fabric that might give us clues on how to imagine the materiality we are part of.
Pluriversidad Nómada
Pluriversidad Nómada was born from the desire to generate a loving space, one that serves as a context for practices and debates to take place around issues that confront us on a daily basis. This space seeks to question the umbrella concept of "art, science and technology", in order to densify its use by situating it materially in context. For Pluriversidad Nómada, these three words provide an excuse to devise other radical pedagogies capable of enabling pluriversal thought and action, disobeying the mandates of the academy and the pretended universality of modern Western knowledge.
