Description

Xenofeminism is not a bid for revolution, but a wager on the long game of history, demanding imagination, dexterity and persistence. Xenofeminism seeks to construct a coalitional politics, a politics without the infection of purity. Is xenofeminism a programme Not if this means anything so crude as a recipe, or a single-purpose tool by which a determinate problem is solved. Xenofeminism is a platform, an incipient ambition to construct a new language for sexual politics a language that seizes its own methods as materials to be reworked, and incrementally bootstraps itself into existence. Xenofeminism is a politics for alienation.

Author Bio

Laboria Cuboniks (b. 2014) is a polymorphous xenofeminist collective. As an anagram of the Nicolas Bourbaki group of mathematicians, Cuboniks also advances an affirmation of abstraction as an episto- political necessity for 21st century claims on equality. Espousing reason and vigorous anti-naturalism, she seeks to dismantle gender implicitly. Cuboniks is a multi-taloned, tetra-headed creature uncomfortably navigating the fields of art, design, architecture, archeology, philosophy, techno-feminism, sexuality studies, digital music, translation, writing and regular experiments with the use of evolutionary algorithms in offensive cybersecurity.
