A Reading from the Reading Room | The Crying of the Wind, Ireland
This week, we have The Crying of the Wind, Ireland by Ithell Colquhoun.
The Architecture of Contemplation is a platform to explore the ways in which presence can be regained in a pace driven culture.
As part of this exploration, and linked to this contemplative container, is my experiment opening up my personal library as a shared space for unoptimised time - The Reading Room.
People can book in for a two hour slot, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The desire is to create a space for attention and presence to be brought back into relationship with each other.
Weekly I will share readings from the library, from the books and paraphernalia that can be discovered there.
If you'd like to book in, please send a message over on Instagram @hardeep.earth (https://www.instagram.com/hardeep.earth/).

Alienation and Re-Worlding | TAOC Contemplation
Welcome to Contemplations with me, Hardeep Kaur. Today we are contemplating a particular kind of alienation that occurs in a world where technology grows in primacy.
The work of Günther Anders emerges as a guiding provocation - in a world where humans become obsolete in the shadow of technologies that overpower their makers, a sense of shame emerges, which in turn further unmoors, and untethers us from all that feels familiar. The mythic figures of Prometheus and Circe are called upon to explore what can be done to re-negotiate a new relationship to belonging to the world.
If something resonates, or speaks to you in this Contemplation, I’d love to hear from you.
If you're ready, let's contemplate.
