Decolonial Healing: In Defense of Spiritual Technologies

a talk by visiting artist and Ramapo College Schomburg Distinguished Scholar Tabita Rezaire

Digging into African and Diasporic knowledge, Decolonial Healing explores the politics of technology and its relationship to spirituality. Navigating architectures of power – both online and offline- from surveillance, biological warfare and western hegemony, how can we use technological sciences to nurture our health, not only physical but mental, emotional, spiritual, political, historical and technological? How can we use biological or esoteric systems to fuel technological process of information, control and governance? Embracing the idea that technology acts as a mirror of the organic world, capable of healing or poisoning depending on its usage and users, this presentation investigates the cybernetic spaces where the organic, technological and spiritual worlds connect.
