Posthumanism invites us to think beyond human-centric thinking and embrace a more inclusive, interconnected worldview. By confronting cultural challenges and seizing opportunities in life's unexpected disruptions, we can transform our understanding of the world and our role within it.

 

Dr. Bayo Akomolafe is a philosopher, psychologist, and professor from Nigeria. He is the Chief Curator of The Emergence Network and host of the online course, 'We Will Dance with Mountains'. Dr. Akomolafe's work explores themes of post-humanism, decolonization, and the deconstruction of conventional Western paradigms. He seeks to challenge and reframe dominant narratives around human supremacy, individualism, and progress.

 

• What Is Post-Humanism? Post-humanism is a philosophical perspective that seeks to de-center the human as the sole source of importance and beauty in the world. It recognizes the significance of other beings and the interconnectedness of all life, inviting us to embrace a more holistic view of the world and our place within it.

• Cracks Are Opportunities: “Cracks" are disturbances or disruptions in our conventional ways of thinking and being. These cracks serve as openings for new ideas, dialogues, and ways of engaging with the world to emerge. We can challenge dominant narratives and explore alternative perspectives by embracing these disruptions.

• Reframing Your Relationship With the World: Recognize that you are a part of the world you aim to protect, rather than separate from it. This reframing encourages us to cultivate humility and a sense of stewardship, understanding that we are in service to the Earth and all its inhabitants.

• Embracing Diversity and Alternative Ways of Knowing: Post-humanism invites us to value and engage with diverse perspectives. By embracing alternative ways of knowing and being, we can enrich our understanding of the world and foster more inclusive and ecologically attuned approaches to the challenges we face.
