Emma Dabiri Instagram – THE MULTIVERSE : Yoruba cyclical time, sequential colonial time, poetry and quantum physics
Last night I gave a lecture at Oxford University to a group of African Masters Students on creative and critical thinking. I wanted to share how studying African epistemologies and ontologies have inspired my own thinking and writing. This lecture has a long been in gestation and I’ll keep refining and updating it.
Shoutout to @blindboyboatclub @esdevlin Cyrille Vigneron Chairman of Cartier Culture & Philanthropy whom conversations with over the last few years have inspired my thinking on #quantumphysics *FULL DISCLAIMER I AM NOT A PHYSICIST LOL don’t come for me
Back in 2018 / 2019 maybe I appeared on blindboys podcast and we had the best conversation about the differences between sequential linear time and non-linear cyclical time (I remember an audience member at the end complaining to me that she wanted to hear me talk about #allyship rather than time, how interestingly prescient 🫠)
Sharing some clips from the lecture here. Let me know your thoughts
