Quotes

Honestly, I don't believe in genealogy. It's more like when Alexis Pauline Gumbs wrote this great book, Dub: Finding Ceremony, which covers dub poetry, about Sylvia Wynter. She explains that her whole thinking comes from Sylvia Wynter but that it's not a genealogy. Sylvia Wynter is a kind of toolbox.

HUO, Hans Ulrich Obrist on Exhibitions as Living Organisms

The notion of “positive” alienation, which is often associated with Hegel's account of estrangement (Entfremdung) and externalisation (Entausserung), has been active in my work for a long time. I'm interested in recovering it from the wreckage of its enlightenment heritage via thinkers such as Sylvia Wynter, Frantz Fanon and Homi K. Bhabha.
