Pluriversal Practice

The decolonial vision of the pluriverse—a world in which diverse epistemologies, ontologies, and forms of praxis—is inherently relational. Pluriversality therefore offers a critical reorientation to the intersecting ecological, economic, and social crises of our time which, in our view, require relational solutions. Relationality means interconnection and interdependence. To be in relationship is to be open to being transformed by the co-called other; to be able to learn, integrate, adapt, and recalibrate as new information, perspectives, and ways of sensing emerge. Opening to relationality in this way calls us to resist rigidity and righteousness, and the impulse to cling so tightly to our own view(s) that we end up obscuring, dominating, or shutting out other views. Relational practice invites us to learn to experience complexity, contradiction, and difference without needing to seek control or even total coherence.
