We conceive these encounters as a series of thought provoking exercises 
to think with entities, objects, ideas, actions, events located at the 
edge of categories/states/conditions:


death/alive
organic/inorganic
real/fiction
material/immaterial
one/many
us/other
human/non-human
visible/invisible
perceptible/imperceptible
accounted/unaccounted
past/present/future
active/passive
biology/geology



We intend each of these encounters to work as sites to provoke a 
particular type of thinking-- the slash is the entity-- that forces us 
to reveal, and reckon with, questions such us: What kind of 
possibilities, promises, monsters, dangers--and in between-- are 
revealed by placing ourselves ‘at the edge’? What does thinking at ‘the 
edge’ offer to thought?

At a moment in which we witness the collapse of systems, and the 
practices and discourses that have sustained them--the master narrative 
of “growth” is an example--it is particularly important to create 
experimental spaces/slashes-- that invite the practice of thought  
without  extant categories. We believe that “the edge” can be one 
experimental space, and “thinking at the edge” one of the practices to 
enable us to open the possibility of thinking and imagining beyond the 
categories and boundaries that hold us captive.
