Fuck healing (?) the Insomniac Dreamers: The dream of a world that has to be fabricated

At a time when we find ourselves repressed by conditions of atomized and isolated exploitation – not as a momentary crisis, but as the enduring condition of living under capitalism, colonialism, and patriarchy, structures that fragment, extract, and exhaust both our bodies and our imaginaries – we ask: how can we think from and within exhaustion? This exhausted and exhausting mode of existence, rather than foreclosing possibilities, becomes a locus where alternative, collective, and radical futures can be imagined, dreamed and actualized. Here, exhaustion is creatively mobilized as a conceptual lens as well as a porous threshold of experience. From this collective site, where the perceived distinctions between selves are dismantled, and from the exhausted dreams of the insomniacs, new worlds begin to form.
