Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The second annual Alchemy Lecture was presented in November 2023 at York University to a sold out in-person audience and nearly one thousand live online viewers. Moderated by Dr. Christina Sharpe, the Alchemists - agile thinkers and practitioners working across a range of disciplines and geographies - convened to discuss their radical visions of the beautiful world, and the manifestos that may help to guide us there. Their treatises have been captured and luminously expanded in the pages of this book. Cherokee Nation citizen and professor Joseph M. Pierce asserts that 'for this decolonial future to become possible, the guiding force must no longer be capital but relations.' Informed by her practice of 'curation as care,' Brazilian film curator Janaina Oliveira evokes music and movement as a means toward this relationality: 'it's almost by falling that you live. The beautiful world dances then stumbles. The beautiful world dances dancing.' Kenyan-British visual artist Phoebe Boswell uses the space of a virtual gallery to ask, 'If we burn down the institution, what happens next? Do we trust ourselves to know?' and gestures toward the possibility of this 'as yet unlived, unexperienced thing.' Professor and MacArthur fellow Saidiya Hartman asks us to consider our capacity to burn, stating that 'Pragmatism yields a profound tolerance of the unlivable.' And Mexican-American author Cristina Rivera Garza gives us the language of the future in the subjunctive, which 'lays the groundwork for the irruption The subjunctive is the smuggler who crosses the border of the future bearing unknown cargo.' Each Alchemist is intimately concerned with the shape of this cargo and our ability to bear its weight, together. Through these expansive, transformative essays, new ways of being are threaded and proposed, illuminating our path towards this possible beautiful world.

Paperback. Condition: New. The second annual Alchemy Lecture brought together five artists, thinkers, and writers who proposed new ways of being and discussed radical visions for the future. Five Manifestos for the Beautiful World captures and expands these lectures to illuminate our path toward this possible beautiful world. Joseph M. Pierce (Cherokee Nation) asserts that "for this decolonial future to become possible, the guiding force must no longer be capital but relations." Film curator Janaína Oliveira (Brazil) evokes music and movement as a means toward this relationality. Visual artist Phoebe Boswell (UK/Kenya) asks, "If we burn down the institution, what happens next?" Saidiya Hartman (US) prompts us to consider our capacity to burn, examining whether "the gift of pragmatism yields a profound tolerance of the unlivable." Cristina Rivera Garza (US/Mexico) gives us the language of the future in the subjunctive, "the smuggler who crosses the border of the future bearing unknown cargo." Each alchemist is intimately concerned with this cargo, our ability to bear its weight, and how we might find the beautiful world together.
