Bayo Akomolafe On Slowing Down And Embracing Change

In this thought-provoking talk, Bayo Akomolafe challenges the notion of urgency, advocating instead for a deeper, more attentive way of engaging with the world. He calls for slowing down not in speed but in awareness, to better understand the interconnectedness of our lives with other beings, including ancestors, microbes, and the environment. Akomolafe critiques modern approaches to data and clarity, suggesting they may limit our ability to respond to crises like climate collapse.

He encourages us to compost ourselves into the world, recognizing our inherent entanglement with nature and the need to organize differently to meet this transformative moment.
