MANIFESTO



NSISIM... means ‘spirit’ in bulu, 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, indigenous, memory, craft, patterns, images, time, the internet, music poetry and liberation

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

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

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

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

you

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.

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
