Driving the Human Festival: Alexandra Pirici | »Future Ground: A movement-lecture on nurturing different sensibilities, pleasures, and collaborations with land.« Alexandra Pirici is walking through a forest. In a calm voice she talks about the meaning of language and socioeconomic infrastructures that mold human life. The artist reflects on methods that break up the dominant capitalist system such as slowing down instead of constant acceleration, or absorbing knowledge not only with the mind but also the body. Driving the Human Festival: Panel discussion | (NON-)HUMAN Panel Discussion with Joanna Bourke, Bogna Konior, and Cary Wolfe, moderated by Lena Reitschuster. The discussion focuses on the concept of being human. The distinction between humans and non-humans is described as a social construct that maintains the idea of the human capability to create social life. However, being human is not determined by human actors alone, but also by non-human actors such as animals, plants, or machines.
