nsisim manifesto -> NSISIM...

✿ means ‘spirit’ in bulu, cameroon

✿ emerges from an imagination that weaves, moves, dances between the personal, the political and our environment

✿ is for the curious who wants to expand their knowledge and expanse of the world

✿ is for the researcher who wants to dive, deepen, and scour the internet for archeology

✿ for the empathetic critic who wants to dismantle, re-envision, and put back together

✿ for the compassionate collaborator who respects, adds to, and co-imagines solutions & visions

✿ for the visionary worldbuilder who wants to dream, organize, and strategize

✿ for the creative who wants to make, draw, weave, tell, dance, move

✿ is for you

Weaving


What do weaving languages & technologies offer to make sense of the self and others?

What have weaving practices & fractal technology offered us insight on?

How can/have they inform(ed) abolitionist
pasts, presents and futures?

How can weaving processes of making, undoing, sewing, knotting, tying, and undoing again teach us about the acts of (un)making the self?

    In this course, we’ll:


    1. play with weaving techniques such as fractal mapping, braiding simulators, and paper weaving 
    2. reflect on (inter)personal and cultural weaving practices (weaving needs, weaving clothes etc…)
    3. explore and learn through readings, objects, films, images, personal archives, films and history
    4. embody learnings, lessons, and orientations toward weaving as mending, as cultural memory, as language, as restorative justice and as a tool to meditate on the self, our community, and our environment
