Ferreira da Silva and Neuman’s work builds on the combined research of numerous creators, philosophers and artists, and Ferreira da Silva’s planetary view of the world as plenum, a corpus infinitum, a complex terrain in which human, geological, bacterial and meteorological environments are not independent forms and phenomena. As experiments in entanglement and ways of ‘the Thinking of the World’, Ferreira da Silva and Neuman’s work proposes alternatives to the destructive consequences of Western knowledge, derived from modernity. What does it mean to disorder Western thinking? What other ways of knowing – across cultures, time, space and form – can we learn, apprehend and relearn? The work critiques the long-lasting effects of the systematic structures of colonialism and capitalism, questioning the way they affect ecology, forms of extraction, territory, slavery – historically and in the present –, sovereignty and migration.
