" ... the Jamaican novelist, dramatist, and philosopher Sylvia Wynter invokes a 'ceremony' as a revolutionary rite of passage: a 'marriage' that breaks through capitalist modernity's constiutive antagonisms, overcoming and remodeling the status-granting categories that reproduce its established modes of world-creation. This calls for a new engagement with origin narratives ... [This] is a project on the cosmological functions of art, subverting the reproduction of the value forms of 'modern art,' according to which the autonomous and secular artist as exemplary modern subject is tasked with individually imaging 'alternative cosmologies.'"--Page 8, 11.

Artists and writers explore Sylvia Wynter's postcolonial dismantling of origin myths and cosmologies According to the influential Jamaican writer and cultural theorist Sylvia Wynter, "we humans cannot pre-exist our origin myths any more than a bee can pre-exist its beehive." Drawing inspiration from her seminal essays "The Ceremony Must Be Found" (1984) and "The Ceremony Found" (2015), Ceremonydraws on Wynter's thinking to suggest that "modernity," contrary to its own self-image as rational and secular, is also determined by origin myths that emerged through the "mutations" of Christian cosmology after the dawn of capitalism in the Middle Ages. With over 25 contributions and commentaries on Wynter's propositions from artists and writers, this publication constitutes a critical reference point for those seeking to construct and envisage a "counter-cosmogony" to the dispossession, slavery and extractivism of modernity that so endanger planetary life for humankind.
