This gathering moves through the fractures of our time colonial, patriarchal, social, symbolic to question what can still be said, named, imagined. Because it is also through words, through the stories we choose to inhabit, that the possibilities of other worlds take shape.
Between philosophy, sociology, and radical imagination, the encounter becomes a laboratory of attention: a space to rethink care as a collective practice, relation as an act of resistance, and fragility as a fertile condition for new forms of coexistence. In the darkness of the present, words become tools for finding our way.
Not to erase the ruins, but to learn how to move through them together.
