Thinking Out Loud: T. J. Demos, Siri Paulsen, Ida Bencke and Pujita Guha

Taking Denmark as a starting point and examining its interconnected role within the global landscape, this talk seeks to politicize sustainable practices while underscoring the urgent need to confront colonial history. In this endeavor, it seeks to reimagine and conceptualize more equitable futures through chronopolitical methodologies, at a time when the pervasive visibility of enduring systems of violence and oppression makes the very idea of a collective future seem almost unimaginable. Yet, grassroots movements and organizations, drawing from Indigenous radical traditions and emancipatory praxis, are pioneering new experiments through visual culture, aesthetics, and social activism.
