Quelccaya Foundation

reschooling-with is held by the Quelccaya Foundation, a newly established organization founded in 2024. The foundation emerged from Fossil Free Culture NL (FFC), to be able to carry the vital work of Towards Post-Extractive Cultures forward.


Named after the Quelccaya glacier —the world’s largest tropical glacier, currently under threat from the American Lithium Corp— the foundation is rooted in a commitment to defending ancestral territories and all forms of life. Working in solidarity with both human and more-than-human communities impacted by intensified extraction, Quelccaya Foundation fosters ancestral futures that move beyond extractivism and towards reciprocal relationships with Earth.

Quelccaya Foundation's board members are Shila Ishwardat, Stijn Verhoeff, and Wan Ing Que.

Why now?

What forms of resistance, repair, or reimagining are called for in these urgent times? How do we create the conditions for other possibilities to emerge?

How?

reschooling-with is a living platform for nurturing and reclaiming pluriversal ways of being, knowing, and relating—through art, un/learning, embodied research, ancestral futurity, solidarity weaving, and eco-social action.

reschooling-with what?

“re” speaks to composting, reimagining, rehearsing, re-membering, relearning, reworlding —and repeating, again and again, until we get it right, which may never happen, at least not in our lifetimes. Our artistic projects are rehearsals, rehearsing solidarity as well as other ways of living that align with the worlds we know are possible.

with gratitude

reschooling-with is composting and learning alongside many teachers, mentors, and (former) collaborators, those who inspire us with their radical care, embodied wisdom, and courageous imagination, and with whom we walk in solidarity.
