Uniformity-Animality: Vision Forum in Guatemala and El Salvador
The first leg of the project Uniformity-Animality is a research journey to Guatemala and El Salvador. The participants will together reflect on how dialogues between our rational selves and other potential and existing selves can or could co-exist. It is a journey into sexuality, power and patterns of the dominated and the dominator and expressions of fear seep out in our everyday existence. The project takes its starting point from the idea in Mayan Cosmology that our beings are made up of three interconnected selves: the waking self, the sleeping self and the animal self. The participants will meet representatives of current Mayan society and the project investigates if ideas from Mayan cosmology can be incorporated into contemporary Western society.
