This discourse fails to include Indigenous and embodied knowledges as part of their canons. This erasure is normalized and rarely questioned, and it reproduces an imperial, aesthetic arrogance. Traditional fine art pedagogies must expand. Social media provides multitudes of examples of the increasing awareness and reclaiming of ancestral traditions in efforts to heal colonial trauma. African and other Indigenous aesthetics are then often co-opted, packaged, marketed, sold to the public. The majority of these initial processes are often conducted by artists who work in the commercial arena. This article opens inquiries of fine art pedagogy and processes that disrupt, problematize, challenge, and transform its colonial educational model by employing decolonial knowledges. This article shares a five-step pedagogical process as a working example of how we can intentionally teach ritual in a fine arts institution while orienting ourselves against the epistemic violence of cultural appropriation often featured in the work produced by fine art students. The urge to separate indigeneity and marginalized identities from their histories and geographies is situated at the heart of modernity, a territory designating which knowledges are legitimate, legible, and visible. Using decolonial love as the framework for an ancestor reverence pedagogy, this article does not provide an answer but instead offers an embodied approach from the margins of rejection to resist the hegemony of fine art pedagogy.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"41 1","pages":"168 - 191"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46271693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Excerpted from a larger project-in-progress, this article, in part, proceeds from Lugones's 1987 essay \"Playfulness, 'World'-Travelling, and Loving Perception.\" It strives toward articulating a decolonial feminist epistemology that is informed by queer of color, sick and disabled phenomenology and material life. We are compelled by what we might name as the work of queering and the work of sickening: methods for cultivating non-normative relationships to our bodies, our desire, our health, and to each other. In the spirit of Lugones's notion of playfulness, we consider queer play as a methodology of ever-unfolding liveliness that also takes seriously and honors the gravity of queer chronic illness life. This, we propose, affirms a politics and poetics of illness that is antithetical to coloniality's hold on the body as only of value while productive and profiting for itself and for another. A growing archive of SDQ thought and cultural material, this compendium is not necessarily intended to be read in a linear fashion. That is part of its SDQ disruption of heteropatriarchal, racist, and ableist grammars; a central component of SDQ temporalities; and an emphatic reminder that despite and because of the ways we are bound to and by illness, we make possible diverse forms of life otherwise.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"41 1","pages":"35 - 58"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42747396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Increasing geographical mobility, enormous circulation of ideas across cultures, and intriguing encounters of local and global paradigms continue to generate complex and nuanced \"worlds,\" while also bringing new forms of oppression, assimilation, and stereotyping, hence new guises of \"arrogant perception.\" Accordingly, travelling to \"worlds\" of ours and other women's and recognizing differences, plurality, and historical specificity becomes truly indispensable in creating feminist coalitions. Within this frame I argue that the trope of travel in Women Who Blow on Knots underlines the \"world\"-travelling of four women whose encounter with one another brings forward a transnational understanding of solidarity—one that is not a pernicious totalizing unity but a coalition constructed with a deep understanding of the nuanced plurality of different locations and histories. While the content presents a pluralistic context of a loving attitude, the playful narrative strategies constantly allow space for creative plurality and offer possibilities for a transnational, decolonial feminist writing.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"41 1","pages":"101 - 119"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49076707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A year later the world witnessed this through horrifying videos on social media. Responding to this unimaginable cultural loss, Iranian-born artist and activist Morehshin Allahyari initiated Material Speculation: Isis—creating 3D-printed replicas of twelve of the destroyed sculptures from the cities of Hatra and Nineveh. The project involved collecting extensive data and research with various historians, curators, and visual archives, which Allahyari placed on USB flash drives and embedded within the body of the statues. In her current series, She Who Sees the Unknown, she looks at stories from the South West Asian and North African (SWANA) region, re-figuring images of goddesses and djinns through a feminist lens as a way of weaving new magical narratives and speculating mythologies.In this conversation with Allahyari, I discuss her artistic and research processes, unpacking issues of digital decolonization. The dialogue further addresses the philosophical underpinnings of her practice and looks at the use of technology as a means to reflect and challenge our collective political, social, and cultural pasts, presents, and futures.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"41 1","pages":"100 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48343756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on ethnographic detail from a popular education project (called \"Adelante\") that emerged through inspiration from Freirean, Highlander, and feminist frameworks in a predominantly Latinx farm-worker community in California, the author explores how Adelante discussed their praxis in the first six months of their formation. The article focuses on three tantear practices of making time to tantear, making space to tantear, and reflecting on their praxis as moments that both supported and described tantear practices. Tantear is a Spanish verb that Lugones explains as a tactile searching together in the dark; a productive unknowing that allows individuals to make sense of themselves, each other, and their praxis beyond predetermined understandings or fixed visions of the future. A clear vision forward can compress the space and time otherwise needed for complex communication and relies on ontological presuppositions about the self and other that may foreclose transformative possibilities. In turning toward each other and reaching in the darkness of unknowing, agentive possibilities form with and in the making of a coalition.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"41 1","pages":"120 - 140"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47914497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Taking inspiration from the stories of Women of Color, which Lugones herself includes in her work, the authors juxtapose Lugones's words with experiential vignettes. Beginning with reflections and meanings of home, the authors forward a reflexive method of analysis through the form of writing. In analyzing \"world\"-travelling through playfulness, hanging out, invitation, teasing, and its opposite, agonistic play, the authors build new understandings of how to approach travel and knowledge production. Bridging the social sciences and humanities, the authors' collective writing also suggests friendship as a pathway to decolonial feminist coalition building in academia, a world that has historically been alienating to Women of Color.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"41 1","pages":"12 - 34"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48217251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
