Over fifteen years, renowned Caribbean philosopher Édouard Glissant reflected on his life and worldview with his friend Hans Ulrich Obrist. This was something like an education, the foundation on which Obrist built his approach to curating.  Obrist has long pursued Glissant’s vision across museums and galleries, but–with the destruction of environments, extinction of languages, and the volatility of reality–he knew that Glissant’s philosophy was necessary beyond academic and curatorial walls. Returning to the records of their encounter, Obrist edited, reworked, and arranged their conversations in their entirety for the first time. THE ARCHIPELAGO CONVERSATIONS is the result–enlightening us, as only Glissant can, as to how we might form an interdependent Earth in the 21st Century.
