Emptiness and Form: The Ontology of the Void

To speak of emptiness is to speak of the most misunderstood concept in both metaphysics and lived practice, for the human intellect recoils before the notion of nothingness, attempting to populate the void with conceptual scaffolds rather than inhabit it. Yet in the Buddhist articulation of śūnyatā (शून्यता, emptiness), the void is not negation but plenitude—the inexhaustible field of potential…

Discovering Lundy's Hidden Hearts

Heart at Sea Level If you have seen this heart shaped feature in the cliffs, it was likely whilst circling Lundy by boat. A fracture in the granite, shaped uncannily like a heart, opens briefly in the cliff face. The heart only becomes visible when the body is positioned in a particular way — held at sea level, moving, circling. It is not something you walk past. From land, it is not visible.…

MMQG as Resistance against Capitalist Education and the Infrastructures of Control

The landscape of contemporary education is inseparable from the machinery of capital. Across continents, curricula are standardised to optimise for labour-market compliance, while testing regimes reduce human learning to metrics that feed predictive analytics and investment portfolios. Surveillance platforms harvest student data as a raw resource for profit. Even the rhetoric of “lifelong…

GGSC Happiness Calendar - September 2025

And, of course, here you are GGSC’s Happiness Calendar for this month, whose topic are growth and change. As usual, here are some suggestions for you.

Within this paradigm, the human psyche is…

EMBODIED COGNITION

Movement Knowledge

“Embodiment is the process through which awareness enhances the moment-to-moment circulation of thoughts, feelings, sensations, and energies through the physical body. It forms the basis for somatic psychology, which is the study of the body/mind interface.”

#BelmontBabyDolls collaborate with Berlin/Toronto artist, Shannon Lewis @lolas_venus (recently in residence at @aliceyardinsta) for its 2019 presentation “Carnival Baby” for Trinidad Carnival 2019. 

The artist writes:

“In Get Me Bodied, shapeshifting is an adaptation. It is the work we do to be able to move between spaces, classes, and geographies. But what does that work — the constant reworking — do to our bodies or our minds? It is about the performance and the objects that we collect along the way. We primp, preen, fix up — look sharp, grow, develop appendages that are useful until they’re not. It is about mobility, intersecting with sexuality, gender, race, immigration, class, economics, and social climbing. “The task of a migrant is to learn the anatomy of a new society and reconstruct yourself in a new accommodating form. This framework and your performance in it are never invisible to you. So you either become flexible with the constant social contortions, or you fold over and break. The work sits in a space that contemplates the push and pull of this operation. It sits in a space that has fun with high femme performance fantasy and total exhaustion. Self-making as sport, for access and for life.” Shannon Lewis is a Canadian-born, Berlin-based artist with Trinidadian roots, whose practice encompasses painting, installation, and performance. She has exhibited in Canada, the United States, Britain, and Germany. She has a BA from OCADU in Toronto (2006) and an MFA from Goldsmiths, University of London (2014).   Belmont Baby Dolls OPEN BOOK, with drawings and text by Amanda McIntyre.
