ConfusingCodingSituations - Ancestral Clouds, Ancestral Claims

Join us for a day where we will connect to Constant’s ongoing theme of Otherworldly Communications*, trying to attune to transmissions that come from elsewhere: from ancestors, from clouds, from unpayable debts.

*Otherworldly communications researches how different forms of life co/exist and circulate in the midst of damage and toxicity; it is an invitation to sit in the presence of these lives, toxic but nevertheless persistent.

We will watch Ancestral Clouds, Ancestral Claims, a film that lingers with inheritance—not just genetic, but atmospheric, historical, and extractive.
Alongside the screening, Tunde Adefioyé will guide us through Denise Ferreira da Silva’s Unpayable Debt, a book that reorients how we understand what is owed, what is carried, and what cannot be counted.

Together, we’ll dwell in that strange static between frequencies: ancestral, clouded, networked. What messages pass between stones and servers? How do debts speak through time? Can we code with care, with refusal?
