Athens, Greece
Imagining beyond the border can be seen as an attempt of assessing utopia but as the feminist scholar Donna Haraway writes; ‘we cannot denounce the world for an ideal world’. As she writes, it is about staying in the trouble, about living and dying well with each other. ‘We become with each other or nothing at all’*. It requires making oddkin, that is requiring each other in unexpected collaborations and combinations. I would say, that is to stay in the struggle and enhance the collective thinking beyond borders. This is always situated and never nowhere.
It is about the politics of the commons - of building the commons and reclaiming control from below from states and neoliberalism**. It is about taking control of activities of what our life is build on. About building structures, networks and communities.
I want to ask myself and others the questions of how to imagine beyond the border, not only in thought but in practice?
