In this episode of Lifelines, I’m joined by my friend, Azuka Khazrik. This episode features lessons from the plantcestor rose, exploration of how attachment styles expand beyond the interpersonal to interface with the polycrises in our world, an expansion of our conception of time, lessons from bioremediation efforts in Lebanon, and remembering the wisdom of our lands, lineages, languages, and our bodies have to heal and preserve our collectivity and relational wounding. Azuka Khazrik nurtures a plural, antimilitarist practice in service of transgenerational healing and collective transcendence. She creates assemblies, teaches, writes, makes music and multi-modal installations, and is the creatress behind the liberationist platforms “ خريطة الظلام Cartography of Darkness” (https://dark.society.systems), AATMA ✦ عتمة and “ܗܽܘܦܳܟܳܐ ܒܟܰܘܟܒ̈ܶܐ Astrorevolt”.
