RITUAL w/ Katía Truijen
At Rewire 2020/21 we explored the theme of (re)setting, asking how we can reorientate ourselves in a world that is constantly shifting in unexpected ways. In his book The Disappearance of Rituals: A Topology of the Present, the philosopher and cultural theorist Byung-Chul Han defines rituals as an important technique for us making a home for ourselves in this world, for us to reset and reorientate; “[Rituals] transform being-in-the-world into a being at home. They turn the world into a reliable place. They are to time what a home is to space: they render time habitable. They even make it accessible, like a house.” 80 — Discourse
