Disentangling and deviating from complex contemporary conditions of capitalism and coloniality, AWKNDAFFR is an artistic operation which situates itself at the intersections of art, theory, and praxis.
A Weekend Affair was a symposium-festival fully crowdfunded and supported by friends and communities of artists in 2019.
Developed as an online reading resource/meeting point with a desire to share, think, and advocate various forms of studies (and checking in on life in general), #aweekendmonthly contextualizes readings on the first weekend of every month since September 2018. On certain editions, we exchange what we each know, and work with friends/peers, and in most cases, the shared readings are in one way or another meant to encapsulate thoughts and concepts related to the practices and cooperations of A Weekend Affair. As reading can be an expensive leisure for some, it is essential to think of the act of reading not only as a therapeutic/self-redeeming activity that nourishes or repairs, but also a moment in time where it never gets consumed.
