WHAT CAN WE DO NOW?
WORLD PEACE!!!!!
Part 1: Who we are
Main themes:
Thinking towards the future yet appreciating the embodied now
Democratization of knowledge, technology, and art forms { Accessibility, discussion, dissemination of …} Resistance?
Collective action
Unifying the processes of learning
Blossom curiosity
-A collective of people interested in using digital technologies to share and produce media to experiment with ideas and realities
- People interested in the Democratization of knowledge, technology, and art forms
- collective action// opposing the monopoly on knowledge, information, education, and art
- How can we produce an innovative reality? One in which the means of creation and innovation rests in our hands
- People interested in social and digital justice
- creatives looking to expand the bounds of institutional learning
Souls, who care to see and think and feel together, engage in the now, think about the future, WH What is it you think? What possibilities come with our souls together? How can we create a world we dream of?
– Growing up in the climate of intensified technological involvement, how does this consume us? What can we do to take autonomy over our own time and our choice of life? What is it we aspire to have before we die?
— Why is it that somehow we have lost our ability to use our own autonomy to (1) think with others and (2) learn technology to create against the corporations trying to consume us?
— In the end what can we hope for if not working together now and forever?
We are the simple souls that make up our world, we dream for a world where we can see the future in good hands, where we know there's systems set for the care of humans and OUR WORLD.. Decentralizing humans and De-westernizing our thoughts and processes and valuing the other worlds that have many stories to be told, where can we convene without the convoluted attempts social media has.
A place dedicated to finding interdisciplinarity and fundamental motives between all disciplines
People dedicated to creating, creating art, relationships, spaces, change, creating a better future
Making collaboration and networking more accessible
Doing research that is personal to us, that holds some stakes for ourselves
Encouraging others to try out different paths, to encourage a more diverse way of living and thinking, shift the perspective of others to be more hopeful, imaginative, and compassionate
Encourage people to socialize, I feel that especially here it is easy to isolate oneself, whatever you create or do, you should always look for ways to collaborate and socialize with people, whether it be in the context of research or other things
- People dedicated to learning and sharing knowledge with no goal other than following and fostering intellectual curiosity— why is it that certain rooms and spaces only accept you or allow you to be a certain way? What constraints do we live in? How do we
- a collective for asking the important questions
- a network, symposium, micro-movement, a critical mass
People interested in diagnosing what actions/activism the world needs and inviting collaborative change
We are unflinching and unabashed optimists, generating utopian hopes in a critical sphere
- a collective for asking and extrapolating meaning from the questions sometimes perceived as unimportant
People who seek to remember their innate childlike wonder and unapologetically share ideas and take up space so that others feel inspired to do the same
Intersection of arts, community, technology, culture from all walks of life
Creating a space for connection outside of one’s day-to-day major/field of study to constantly expand their mind and worldview
Part 2: What We Want
TO DREAM! TO LIVE!
Fill the time we have with intentionality. What fills your heart? What appeases your soul despite the pain and suffering embedded in the nature of our world. How do we have a place to learn collectively?
To create community intentional to engaging with LEARNING, THINKING, UNDERSTANDING, together.
I want to see the process of creation, especially in the public database, I want to see mistakes and collaboration, and how one’s interests, goals, and methods change and grow as they do, a piece of the researcher in everything I read, not just consume and remember knowledge but learn it
I don’t wanna see chatgpt :( I wanna read people’s writing, not strive for perfection or uniformity but communicating your own inner voice and thoughts
experiment with language, use your own voice
We want you to share and create
Steer life in a direction in which knowledge and curiosity are somewhat fundamental pillars or even “purposes” of existence to navigate the storms of the absurd :(
A space where any creative thought, epiphany, or production is welcomed for debate
Discussion and collaboration
Socialise and meet friends <3
What is it that you actually think and care for? What can we learn? What can you teach us? Please dont stop.
Creativity and innovation, regardless of experience or qualification
Experimentation with social norms
Discover new topics that you are interested in and get access to them
Digital art
Off ya phone!!!! Jkhi hanan u gorgeous hi thank u

Alternative spaces for social relations and information sharing
Place where people can share their art and music and brain
Experimentation with language and knowledge processes
ASK questions without judgement (YESS)(+1 +another 1)
Share theories and critical philosophy
Poetry for dismantling the capitalist patriarchy yasss YAAASS
Dismantle consumerism dismantle influencer ism dismantle istagram and tik tok brain rot doom scrolling
Create a space where members’ creativity can be shared with the community
Conversations, we can share what we are learning in different spaces in the university– AND OUTSIDE the university
Many, many voices!! Learning to embrace contradiction and open debate
Win condition: always learn
Constant wrestling with the norm (what is it? What might resistance look like?)
Factory farming information - we dont want that
Part 3: How we’ll get it
Main Goals
Physical Meeting spaces
Discussion series- continuous
Writing!
Host events or discussion series, during covid me and a few friends did this thing where each week one person had to prep a 10min presentation + follow up discussion we would then have in our living room, maybe something like this
Advertise weekly themes around campus? With materials available on discord for those interested
Invite external speakers, e.g. authors or local artists to talk about their experiences
Sharing readings, books, online blogs
Open access publication website for curious souls to share their research, learnings, findings, studies, discipline, career,
CREATE ART that embodies the emotions we feel and shares it with the people, bringing this movement to the forefront of their minds– poetry, film, theatre, dance, abstract forms of presenting thought
THink together, come together, engage with different minds
COLLABORATE around the world with all curious souls, Create an option for people to share their learnings
Meet in person, dinner table conversation- who are you? What do you think about? What do you care for?
Create a physical and digital network of curious souls
Reimagining the platform: how can we interrupt the atomization of thoughts and ideas? Different format
- regularly organized in-person gatherings for face-to-face discussion
Active, intentional articulation of our position and goals for new members and on the website/blog
MEET, space to actually talk and see eachother in person, outside of school or work. Covid has shown us that we can get by behind a screen, but there is something deeply special, personal, and engaging about creating and socializing face to face
“Junk” galleries? No rules, just bring, present, and share art with no rules, expectations, or common themes, just what you are willing to show the world
Dada cabaret core
