Exxxo is a contributive platform which collects speculative archives, xenopoetry and collective imagining focusing on the topic of alienation.
“Exxxo: A Xeno-Community?” aims to generate an unspecified space where various feelings of alienation could collide. The publication temporarily freezes the processes of collective imagining guided by the xenofeminist idea of “alienation” as a labour of freedom’s construction.
The book serves as a speculative archive of events that could have possibly happened in Exxxo. It is also an anthology of xeno-poetry, where the use of language is treated as a material practice allowing for collaborative worlding. Last but not least, it is a never-finishing exercise of embracing the strangeness of existing together.

Exxxo is a project supported by the Student Council that aims to provide an experimental space for collective worldbuilding exercises. It is a contributive platform which collects speculative narratives about alienation, for the construction of a collective (un)hospitable planet. Starting from the backdrop of Xenofeminism, where alienation becomes a tool for collective empowerment, we invite students and teachers to three weekly meetings in the Rietveld and Sandberg Library with reading and writing sessions, lectures, sound experiments and drawing exercises.
