RADICAL TALKS#2: THE FOURTH WORLD
Friday, 21 June 17.00-19.00
Jakopič Promenade/Tivoli Park
Speakers: Dr Julie Reshe, Helen Rollins, Dorotea Pospihalj
The world beyond the third world, which does not even have a name and is not classified by those who cut the planet. The fourth world is a world that exists, but at the same time, it is a world that is yet to come, a possible world of edges, of shadows, of landscapes beyond reality, of being beyond wanting, of peace and blurred sunshine, of bodies not in bondage to work. What is the fourth world? No, there will be no war in the title. It only makes sense to think of the apocalypse while it is not yet happening. Now it is necessary to think of something else. As long as anything exists, there is an alternative. When reality threatens lives, it provokes an immediate response. It creates divisions, but it connects even more. Reality is common and undeniable. Genocide is happening. The planet is warming. Ecosystems are collapsing. Somewhere, the voices of the non-aligned are echoing. All that first-world man buys is time. By contrast, fourth-world time floats. For this world does not measure anything and is not itself measurable.
