Social Practice Social is a monthly discussion forum for artists, programmers, community organisers, activists, and others working with participation, collaboration, public space, or social change. During the Making Place exhibition, we’ll have special guests joining the group to share their practice.

This month, Cristina Morales (Counterspace) facilitates the Decolonial Lab - a collective exploration of decolonial practices and what it means to decolonise ourselves and our world, with a focus on social practice and cultural activism. The Lab is a non-hierarchical grassroots forum rooted in critical pedagogy, holding space for an in-depth theoretical introduction to the concept of decoloniality and contemporary practices, with practical examples.

This event will take place online via Zoom. Please register here to receive the meeting information.

Cristina regularly runs the Decolonial Lab with different groups. Although the theoretical body is always similar, the roundtable conversation is always different, which gives the Lab continuity and an ability to deepen or broaden the holistic exploration. The Decolonial Lab centres the expansion of both personal and community development through holistic exercises on a physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social, and natural level. The Lab aims to heal while building the new, instead of focusing on fighting the old, minding the whole picture., and is suitable for people from all walks of life and locations who are ready to build new pools of alternative collective knowledge through relational learning. 

The Decolonial Lab is designed, curated, and hosted by Cristina Morales, a transdisciplinary cultural practitioner who works as a researcher, writer, curator, speaker, critical pedagogue, and artist at the intersection of art and politics.
