Season 1 Trailer: “Existential thought and concepts of Ubuntu coming from Africa."
Description
Hello Friends
How have you been feeling? A little existential maybe? A little dread maybe? I know we are currently sandwiched in a tightly pressed “Covid Panini '' which comes with a side order of vaccine for the price of socialising again. It feels like the zombie apocalypse is upon us and the end of the world is near. We’ve understood Existential Dread as a philosophy which involves questioning our existence and purpose, from what feels like a crisis of the individual. So we thought it would be interesting to put Existential Dread next to the African philosophy of Ubuntu; a philosophy that broadly says that a ‘person is a person through other people.’ If Existential Dread is about an internal individual crisis of being, can Ubuntu offer us another way of being that is about a communal questioning? Let’s get deep into the chats this season as we try to figure out some things.
