Manifesto

Emerging from South Asian epistemologies and planetary concerns, the collective seeks to unsettle inherited binaries: human/nature, body/machine, science/spirit, colonizer/colonized. We work at the intersections of posthumanist theory, indigenous and Dalit thought, environmental justice, disability studies, feminist technoscience, and digital ethics.

Our focus is not only academic but affective, embodied, and political. Through collaborative research, creative experimentation, critical pedagogy, and public engagement, we aim to:

• Amplify marginalized voices and nonhuman agencies

• Critique and dismantle colonial and anthropocentric infrastructures

• Explore alternatives to extractive and exploitative forms of knowledge and life

• Forge spaces for speculative futures, slow scholarship, and relational care

We understand “posthumanities” not as a rejection of the human, but as a refusal of its violent singularities. The posthuman is not a tech-utopia, but a critical lens to examine entanglement, vulnerability, and co-existence in the face of extinction, surveillance, and structural injustice.

The Collective invites thinkers, dreamers, and doers—across disciplines and lived experiences—to join us in imagining otherwise.
