Episode 66 - Bayo Akomolafe - Cracks, re-pairing and making new moves

Bayo is an author, writer, celebrated speaker, teacher, and self-styled trans-public intellectual - whose vocation goes beyond justice and speaking truth to power to opening up other spaces of power-with, and queering fond formulations and configurations of hope. Bayo invites us to see the crises of our times with a post activist, post humanist lens, revealing cracks and bringing much-needed trouble to settled narratives. His writing and speaking is prolific, vital and so generous. His provocations and the invitations that sit under them are not always fully comprehended in our more comfortable human centered cultures of progress which Bayo speaks to with clarity in this conversation. This was a shorter episode recorded online at the end of a slightly frazzling week, but as ever with Bayo this conversation is full of gifts, stunning insight, provocation and fertiliser for navigating these mysterious times. Bayo is one of our special guests on The Remix kicking off in May - a 3 month action learning adventure for story rebels from Becoming crew. Applications open https://www.becomingcrew.com/theremix
