That was partly due to his upbringing: the camels and horses in the camp where he grew up were not interested in borders. Throughout his life, he remained committed to the nomadic values of the Kalmyk people.</p><p>'But, although Khlebnikov hated territorial borders, he loved the idea of borders in time. He did not want fences, customs posts and certainly not trenches (remember this is going on during World War I, when people were fighting for a few yards of squelching, blood-stained mud). But what about borders in time? When people sing together, they must all keep to the same beat and sing each note together. Synchronising the voice means being aware of borders in time. Once the whole planet is singing, the only borders will be in the dimension of time. Natural rhythms, such as human heartbeats, the sun, the moon and the tides, would be used to set up these borders. He considered it vital not to transgress borders in time - they were needed if the world’s inhabitants were to get on with one another. By contrast, borders in space were in his eyes just bloodshed and murder.'<br><a href="https://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1248/prophet-and-poet-of-russian-revolution/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1248</span><span class="invisible">/prophet-and-poet-of-russian-revolution/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/lunarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lunarchy</span></a><br><a href="https://c.im/tags/flourishingdiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>flourishingdiversity</span></a><br><a href="https://c.im/tags/HumanRevolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRevolution</span></a></p>

This emerges from a growing sentiment that refusing to build is essential to saving our planet from the perils of a changing climate. The Womb Temple postulates that the most effective way to counteract this is by reverting to ancient building techniques using raw stone and live trees, a rebirth for the construction industry.<br>Transporting these materials to the Manchester site is deliberately slow and labour-intensive, relying on human power rather than machinery. This slower pace allows building to be treated as a ritualistic process - each stone placed annually becomes a celebration.</p><p>The temple not only revives traditional building methods but also encourages the reintroduction of nature into urban environments. It becomes a sanctuary for lost animal species and serves as a ritual space where people can spiritually reconnect with the moon, a symbol currently absent from the Manchester skyline, further affirming the renewed connection with nature and the element that governs water, the giver of life.</p><p>Graduate of Coventry University, Sasha was recently awarded the RIBA Award for Sustainable Design at Part 1 for her project “Womb Temple: Lunar Re-Birth”. The concept for this proposal was born from her passion for creating environments that support the symbiotic relationship between people and the earth holistically.</p><p>Sasha and Hossein will be speaking LIVE in the Daryll Forde, 2nd Floor of UCL Anthropology Dept, 14 Taviton St, London WC1H 0BW. Come in good time by 6:30pm before doors close please.
