This episode is a conversation between Rohan Ayinde and Suley, both based in London. Rohan is part of the first cohort of the Rose Choreographic School, and he is an anadisciplinary artist and poet. Suley is a playwright, painter, lawyer and lecturer who uses world building as a radical tool of investigation.
This conversation was recorded in a studio in London and it was the first meeting between these two artists. They reflect on what world building signifies within their practices, articulating how this concept informs their individual research and methodologies. Together, they examine the convergence of their practices, and how speculative fiction, poetry, collectivity and black holes can function as a lens for understanding and imagining alternative futures.
This episode is part of a new series,Choreographing the Apocalypse, which is guest curated by Mine Kaplangı, a Folkestone-based curator and art mediator from Istanbul.
It forms part of their ongoing research into queer and trans imaginaries of the apocalypse(s). They will be inviting artists, thinkers, and somatic practitioners to explore apocalyptic thinking through speculative world-building and radically intimate frameworks.
