Systemic practitioners are re-thinking binary categories, questioning their status as truths. Binaries create single stories which individualise and separate people from each other, from other lifeforms and the context of their production. Binary “truths” can be reinforced through professional theory and policy. They can maintain imbalances of power based on stories of who really knows or has rights. Discourses of truth, misinformation and “post-truth” create tenuous fault lines across the personal, professional and political. How do binaries play out in your life, in your practice, and what do you do? We invite systemic practitioners, trainees, and people engaging with services to speak from within your own lived experience.   

Possible areas:

- Therapist – Client / Supervisor – Supervisee/ Trainer - Trainee
- Othering and supremacy
- Human binarisation and intersectionality
- Transmaterial binaries
- Technological relations
