It shows that these m apping practices—often seen as neutral or technical—have actually play ed a role in continuing colonial legacies by ignoring or erasing Indigenou s ways of understanding space and place. For many local communities\, this has meant being left out of decisions that affect their land\, culture\, and future. The study offers a new way of thinking about maps—not just a s tools for showing where things are\, but as powerful social and politica l practices. It introduces cartography as something relational and active: a process of working together to create shared understandings of space th at reflect lived experiences\, cultural knowledge\, and community values. This perspective is grounded in a decolonial approach that challenges the dominance of state-driven\, top-down forms of mapping. Working with commun ities in Mida Creek\, Kisiwani Island\, and Lamu\, the research uses creat ive and participatory methods such as counter-mapping\, storytelling\, sou nd-based mapping\, drawing on the ground\, and art-based workshops. These methods centre local voices and knowledges—oral\, sensory\, embodied—t hat are often dismissed by official mapping systems. Together\, these acti vities help communities reclaim their spatial identities and imagine new f utures. This research contributes by offering a critical reconceptualizati on of cartography as a relational\, performative\, and decolonial practice . It shows how alternative mapping can be a powerful tool for justice\, so lidarity\, and healing—helping people resist historical erasure\, share knowledge\, and shape more inclusive and equitable ways of living and gove rning space.

Erica’s research focuse s on the interrelated psychological and sociocultural factors that shape h ow people experience\, cope with\, and adapt to body and physical activity - related challenges as they grow older. Erica teaches in the area of qua litative research methods and is a collaborator on the PERSISTENCE grant\, playing a key role in the Work Package 1: qualitative component work pack age of the grant which is led by P.I. Dr. Sarah Koch at the University of Basel.

\nKassi is a PhD student in the School of Kinesiology supervised Dr. Bennett . Kassi employs narrative\, qualitative methods in her work to understand how individuals navigate idendity construction and physical activity after limb amputation\, and works as a research assistant on several qualitativ e research projects pertaining to physical activity and the (aging) body g iven her methodological expertise. Kassi is also a student involved with t he PERSISTENCE project\, and will co-lead this proposed workshop with Dr. Bennett.

Bringing together artists\, scientists\, craftspeople\, designers\, and technologi sts\, the project investigates how the complex intelligence of ecological systems can guide more reciprocal\, rhizomatic and interconnected ways of living — shaping a planetary diplomacy. At the core of the exhibition is Radio Mikoko+ ("mikoko" meaning mangroves in Kiswahili)\, a multisensory installation developed over nine months (August 2024 – June 2025) by art ists David Muiruri (KE)\, Joseph Kamaru (KE)\, Ann Mbuti (CH/GER)\, and Ya ssine Rachidi (CH/MAR). Drawing on storytelling\, field recordings\, mater ial experimentation\, and cartographic research\, the work leads visitors on a sonic and sensory journey from Lamu Island to Basel\, tracing tides o f memory\, relation\, and cultural exchange. The project draws conceptual inspiration from Édouard Glissant’s poetics of relation\, envisioning m angroves as a metaphor for entangled\, non-hierarchical systems of knowled ge and belonging. Just as mangrove roots intertwine across borders of land and sea\, Mangrove Ecologies explores how distant geographies\, such as a n ancient Swahili island town\, Lamu\, and a historic Swiss city\, Basel\, can be connected through shared experiences\, stories\, ecologies\, and p ractices of care. Initiated by kuchanua\, Planisphere\, and the Lamu Youth Alliance\, the project embodies a unique collaboration between Switzerlan d and Kenya. It asks what it means for a landlocked country to listen to m arine environments\, and how knowledge rooted in local ecosystems can reso nate across continents. The exhibition is the culmination of extensive res earch conducted on Lamu Island\, a place shaped by centuries of cultural m ovement and encounter. Here\, the idea of “elsewhereness” emerges\, no t as disclocation or signifer for exoticism\, but as a layered sense of be longing that transcends fixed boundaries. Visitors are invited to step int o the humid embrace of the Viktoriahaus at the Botanical Garden\, where th e installation activates the senses through the moisture of the air\, glim pses of mangrove creatures\, and layered soundscapes from Lamu that echo t he ebb and flow of the tides. Mangrove Ecologies is supported by Pro Helve tia and Swisslos\, in collaboration with the University of Basel\, EPFL+EC AL Lab\, School of Commons\, African Arts Trust\, and T:or.

D rawing from marginalized traditions of thought such as critical disability and childhood studies\, as well as Black feminist and queer/trans perspec tives on care work\, it will center the creative strategies of those caugh t within these institutions.

This one- day workshop will be structured around feedback sessions on first drafts s ubmitted by scholars whose work critically engages with the ambivalences o f care\, alongside collective readings of key texts by authors who have th oughtfully and innovatively explored these themes.

Spinoza’s Tractatus Theologico-philosophicus [TTP]\, which some view as the opening shot of the radical political enlightenment\, beg ins with a definition of prophecy and prophets. «Prophecy\,» he argues\, «is a certain knowledge given by God to men». A «Prophet»\, in turn\, is he who receives such certain knowledge and delivers it to those who « cannot themselves» acquire it. \; In this light\, the institution of prophecy is seen as the hallmark of guiding one’s thought by accepting a uthority over our thinking -- of failing the task of enlightenment\, liter ally defined\, by Kant\, as refusing the «guidance of another» and havin g the «courage» to «think for oneself».
\nSpinoza’s account ha s left its footsteps in conservative (Leo Strauss)\, liberal (Michael Walz er)\, and postmarxist (Antonio Negri) political thought until today. Does this Auseinandersetzung between prophecy and enlightenment\, religion and reason\, hold up? Or does enlightenment require thinking prophecy after al l? What is the relation between prophecy and politics? Revolution? We will be focusing on Spinoza›s account of prophecy and\, reading Kant\, its r elation to Enlightenment. Texts include specific locations in Spinoza’s TTP\; Kant›s «What is Enlightenment» and paragraphs in his 3rd Critiqu e\, along with recommended references in Maimonides and Walzer.
