Belfast: Sounds of the Night 2023
Belfast: Sounds of the Night 2023 YouTube video by Justice and Praxis

In 2023, I walked the empty streets of Belfast not with a notebook, but with a microphone. I collected its sounds, I turned that audio into data, the data into a poem, and the poem into a video. New seminar workshop series soon. What does your city sound like at night?

Hands holding yarn

On a sold-out event, last night we met to knit, crosshatch, yarn, crochet and weave knowldges. We found that community and reciprocity is fundamental for a decolonial future. Hope to see you all next month in our next event, we will be talking about Whiteness & Privilege. Stay tune.

Thanks to all of you who attended (in person and virtually) my book launch at my alma mater (OISE). It was significant to know that the fruit of all these years has paid off. This is just the beginning of my dreams of the Pluriverse.

When I lived in Colombia, I was a Γ‘ero del Sur; when I lived in the USA, I was Mexican, When I lived in Canada, I was Filipino; here in the UK I am Indonesian. The truth is, I am all of them and more, I am beyond any conceptualization of being, I am a citizen of the Pluriverse.

A zine can serve as an excellent creative inquiry tool for sparking academic ideas. Today, I introduce the concept of Epistemic Desire as I illustrated in my mini academic zine.
