Bayo Akomolafe | A Prior Generosity | Glasgow, Scotland March 2024

Bayo Akomolafe in Glasgow, Scotland on the 29th of March 2024, hosted by the Centre for Human Ecology, Galgael and Enough Scotland.
Bayo Akomolafe is a philosopher, writer, activist, professor of psychology, and executive director of the Emergence Network. He has been appointed Scots Philosophical Society Centenary Fellow at the University of Dundee, His work on 'postactivism' has long been of interest to some of us here at CHE, and we were delighted to host this exclusive Glasgow gathering with him.
A Prior Generosity
In this talk, Dr. Bayo Akomolafe addresses what he terms "white stability", a matrix of dots, an orthodoxy of the apparent, which obscures the meandering lines of relational connections that entangle bodies with their contexts. Most importantly, he speaks about a "prior generosity", a 'fungal' network of gifts and possibilities and energies we have always been part of, but which modernity instrumentalises as scarcity.
