Workshop: The Hologram
Mon 11 November 2024, 12pm - 3pm at International House, Loughborough University
This workshop offered those new to The Hologram practice a chance to learn about the history and reasoning behind it. What is The Hologram? What is it used for? And how can The Hologram be applied in a university context? We talked about care as revolutionary practice, and based on that discussion we practiced The Hologram.
The session was focused on the broad theme of life in the ruins, exploring strategies for practicing collective care amidst difficult times. We applied The Hologram practice to understanding widespread exhaustion, grief, conflict, and difficult feelings on both an interpersonal and societal level.
The Hologram asks: what would change if we placed collective care at the center of our movements?
About The Hologram:
The Hologram is a peer-to-peer protocol practiced from beds and couches around the world. One part social practice, one part technology of revolution, and one part feminist science fiction come to life, The Hologram is a lightweight, replicable, autonomous protocol for human cooperation which produces a rare form of de-institutionalized stability that comes from seeing and being seen, caring and being cared for and supporting while being supported, in the long term. By making this form of viral communal stability, we believe that hologrammers and their communities may be able to use their stability to produce new ways of living that don't rely on or reproduce the toxic systems that are killing us.
