Episode guests:
Faun is a group of like-minded and friendly therio-hominids oriented towards imagining and manifesting alternative social and material realities, according to a practical philosophy we like to call worldbuilding. We recognize that worlds necessarily emerge at the intersection of material, temporal and cultural-subjective conditions, according to the reproductive mechanisms of (free, coerced and constrained) performativity, on the part of all agents (“human” and otherwise) implicated in said worlds. This performative production of the conditions underlying worlds is open and accessible to any and all people, and the friendly fauns of Faun embrace this as a key avenue for the production of very real, alternate worlds.
