Téo was our guest on episode #48 of the podcast. Episode #48 was a series of recordings from his joining Gabe Crawford and I on the Colorado Trail last summer for a couple days during our Plant-a-go walk.
After that episode went out, Téo and I chatted about doing another episode together where we get deeper into some of the topics we touched on while talking candidly on the trail.
In this conversation with Téo, we talk about:
Téo defines indigenous futurism more in-depth (you can also learn a lot on his new podcast, The Indigenous Futures Podcast, here)
the role of indigenous futurism in envisioning a new relationship with land moving forward
we get deeper into the concept of transcommunality, what it means, who writes about it, and how we can take cue from the ideas for community building
intersections of religion and spirituality in how we see the land and treat one another
religion and power
the importance of having a relationship to land
some talk on #landback and land reparations and how that connects to spirit
technology, techné and religious awe and some philosophy of technology in relationship to Indigenous Futurism
the importance of myth in creating cosmologies of reciprocity
some words on Téo’s current art + story multimedia projects
some indigenous-afro futures writers and artists of note
