Towards a Cosmotechnic Psychedelia: film screenings and panel discussion
Dive into a world of altered states and cosmotechnic psychedelia!
Towards a Cosmotechnic Psychedelia is an event presented by arebyte in collaboration with artist and researcher Helen Knowles. The event comprises screenings of films by artists and a panel discussion that seeks to explore various topics described in Yuk Hui's 'cosmotechnics', from alternate states and entity encounters to ethical, moral, and social influences. These factors continue to shape use of psychedelics and plant-based medicinal tools both by communities in the Global South, like Putumayo in Colombia, and in affluent Western societies.
