An imminent tension between remembering and forgetting in society pours over and permeates cyberspace, given how little control we have over how our information and memories are stored. The work references thousands of spiritual artifacts; repositories of ancestral spirits transmogrified into art objects relegated to vitrines in museums on distant shores, thousands more destined for destruction under fire. Today the history and meaning of these objects continue to challenge Africans, anthropologists, and museum curators alike.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/web-residencies\/open-call-2020\/muntu-maxims\/brewing-symbiotic-care-feeding-and-nurturing-a-fungi-cyborg-feminist-future\/\"><strong>Marie-Eve Levasseur<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s work proposes brewing symbiotic care in a brewery where plants, microorganisms (yeast), machines, and humans collaborate. The work recognizes brewsters, alewives, and other women who brew for their kin to survive, but also gather specific knowledge about plants, fungi, healing, and caring for their own bodies and those related to them. The work also examines the relationship of human beings to yeast, researching former and current rituals and looking at the power relations related to brewing and caring.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/web-residencies\/open-call-2020\/devotional-diagrams-for-the-desert\/\"><strong>Zahra Malkani<\/strong><\/a> creates ephemeral imagery in an audiovisual web installation that explores divinity as a system by exploring Shivaite and Sufi healing practices in Pakistan\u2019s delta and desert regions; ancient ecologies now ravaged by coal and dam infrastructure.\u00a0 The project looks at the collective healing power of nature while working across different South Asian aniconist traditions.\r\n\r\nAnd an online moon altar by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/web-residencies\/open-call-2020\/muntu-maxims\/ooo-br-online-moon-altar-for-global-ritual-and-connection\/\"><strong>Lark VCR <\/strong><\/a>will honor tradition and track the lunar cycle via sound and visual metaphor to explore how the moon\u2019s movement universally affects and foregrounds cycles of travel and rest, celebration and solitude, the act of letting go and then setting intention.
