UNEDITED:- conversation with Artist Michael Jacobs

 I spoke in length to Sall Lam Toro and Felis Dos about Complex Complicities and wow , we went to the depths of our own herstories and the strategies that brought us to this exact point — may I take the chance here to introduce you to Collective Humus , not Hummus ((( LOL))) “Humus,” the original component of soil, has the same root as “human.” Humans are the earthy ones; we originate from soil. As Humus we want to inspire the cultivation of collective and collaborative responses against fierce competition and regressive individualism. As humus collective we want to elaborate strategies to rebuild “a world that contains other worlds,” rather than excluding those worlds and ideas that do not align with dominant views.
