This session opened for discussion the relationship between polyamory–the maintaining of multiple caring, intimate, and love relations, physical or conceptual–and the flexible, multi-project work of artistic and cultural production which involves more than one other. If one accepts that love is often a motivator for many intensive and intimate exchanges with another collaborator, be it a particular site, community, persons human or non-human, over time.. And that one may be juggling several ongoing commitments in parallel.. Maybe Polyamory is something we should discuss more..
Introductory Notes:
- Not knowing something is a good start for cultural production
- Aim to not make presentation but to guide discussion
- Polyamory as increasing considered approach, but arguably still marginal.
- Historical and more contemporary references, but rather hope to encourage discussions based on lived opinion and experience
- 2nd person statements to start and encourage discussion in either Russian or English
- Gender neutral, inclusive of Hetero, LGBTQIA positions
