SUMMARY:Peace
DESCRIPTION:Register!\n\nJust as modernity has shaped the narratives of 
 progress\, population\, and prosperity to its own benefit\, there is a s
 tory of peace that we've been told which deserves some critical analysis
  and questioning. In a culture where "peace deals" are synonymous with a
  temporary pause on genocidal bloodshed carried out by an incredibly unb
 alanced power dynamic\, our very notion of what "peace" actually is has 
 become warped by our conditioning to witness and increasingly tolerate u
 nspeakable violence. The question of peace must hold an aspect of social
  spatiality… peace where? And for whom? A pervasive "Protect your peac
 e" type of neo-spirituality has arisen in modernity's hyper-individualiz
 ed society. It requires its followers to ignore the very violences that 
 their so-called peace depends on\, as well as the conflict that inevitab
 ly arises from the unaddressed violences. But there is no peace in exist
 ing amongst the comforts of modernity when those comforts are dependent 
 on the extraction and exploitation of other life.\n\nHow does our ignora
 nt pursuit of modernity's "peace" exacerbate the many conflicts of the p
 olycrisis? How has our growing inability to address the inevitable confl
 ict that arises\, on both macro and micro scales\, contributed to even m
 ore disruptions of the peace we claim to want for the world? In the last
  session of this cycle\, we will break down the peace narrative we've be
 en told\, and make space to build out a new one which acknowledges the i
 nevitability of conflict and our response-ability to address it with mat
 urity and inclusivity.
