DECOLONIAL LAB by COUNTERSPACE - Founding Curator / Critical Pedagogue

  • Cristina Morales

Decolonial Lab | 2020 – Present. London, UK / International. The monthly Decolonial Lab online by Counterspace is the only non-hierarchical and international grassroots forum experience rooted in Critical Pedagogy holding space for decolonial theory, and most importantly, a collective exploration of the subject plus co-creation of a new paradigm as decolonial practice. That means that although the theoretical body is always similar, the roundtable conversation is always different, which gives the Lab as much continuity, to deepen or broaden the holistic exploration, as desired. As Decolonial Lab is the first and only of its kind, where health and the expansion of both personal and community development is understood as a necessarily holistic and interdependent exercise on a physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social and natural level. The experience is then catalysed connecting psychology, socio-cultural anthropology, politics, spirituality and natural sciences, with the aim of healing while building the new instead of focusing on fighting the old, minding the whole picture. And addressed to people from all walks of life and locations ready to build, through relational learning, new pools of alternative collective knowledge in circulation. Founding Curator – Critical Pedagogue | Hosting curator and critical pedagogue of a monthly and international DECOLONIAL LAB online for individuals. And hosting curator and critical pedagogue of both live and online Decolonial Labs for groups, facilitated by Counterspace.
