The Councils of the Pluriversal: Affective Temporalities of Reproduction and Climate Change
The Councils of the Pluriversal: Affective Temporalities of Reproduction and Climate Change
As conversations on the climate crisis and its impact have gained prominence in recent years, the notion of overpopulation as a key factor for the increase of global temperatures has once more moved into the spotlight. This concern isn’t new; for centuries, overpopulation has been blamed for a number of things—from poverty and hunger, to the spread of diseases, to conflict. Concurrently, birth control or sterilization have long been presented as solutions to these issues. In this conversation, artists and activists involved in the development of The Councils of the Pluriversal project will discuss the entanglements between the climate crisis, reproduction, ancestral and future histories, land and belonging, and radical forms of care.
