Manifesto



NSISIM... (nuh-sih-sim) means ‘spirit’ in Bulu: a language spoken in the Southeastern region of Cameroon. 

this space is for:

  • 🌀 the curious who wants to bridge the gap between their values and embodying them


  • 🐚 the researcher interested in land, nature, memory, patterns, images, time, poetry, liberation


  • 🫀 the empathetic critic who observes, questions, re-envisions, and puts back together


  • 💌 the compassionate collaborator who respects, adds to, and co-imagines solutions & visions


  • 👽 the visionary worldbuilder who dreams, plans, visualizes, organizes, and.or strategizes


  • 🌿 the creative who makes, draws, weaves, tells, dances, plays, moves, connects, sings, paints, writes, builds, imagines

NSISIM Studio wants to personally thank the planet for all that it is, Sasha Kelley for outlining the marketing and distribution strategy of these courses – endlessly grateful for your piscean dreamer and capricorn rootedness and Iris E. Fernández Valdés who is our creative practice and emotional excavation life coach who has been accompanying us through parks, emotional underworld, creative laboratory, and inner child to unearth language and corporal and poetic connections presented as NSISIM.\

Time


How can non-linear or alternative forms of time mirror our personal experiences?

What forms of time-keeping support an imaginative way of honoring our experiences of time?

How can we notice & observe time to map from and embody its lessons?

In this course, we’ll:


  1. understand the ways time is structured to work against us & for us
  2. unlearn aspects of ownership and illusions of predictability (security) of time
  3. explore & learn to build constellations of time that defy ownership
  4. read time through afro-futurism, speculative fiction, music sheets, commutes, carbon dating etc…
  5. create personalized calendars & systems of time that support and align with your experiences and needs
