Procéder autrement à l’intergénérationnalité
des enfants mettant en œuvre un avenir décolonisé, queer, et crip

Dans cet article, nous réfléchissons aux enseignements tirés d’un atelier de recherche artistique intergénérationnel organisé en 2023, sur les terres des Michi Saagiig (Anishinaabeg de Mississauga). L’atelier rassemblait des activistes âgés de 10 à 100 ans, intégrant concrètement la participation équitable d’enfants et de personnes plus âgées. En rapprochant les écrits relatifs à l’avenir décolonisé, queer, et crip avec l’érudition des études primordiales portant sur le vieillissement et l’enfance, nous soutenons que l’intergénérationnalité radicale est indispensable pour reconstruire le monde ou pour s’imaginer et concrétiser un avenir viable et libératoire. Centré sur trois vignettes abordées dans l’atelier, cet article explore la façon dont la présence d’enfants et leurs interactions intergénérationnelles ont proposé des enseignements relatifs à la responsabilisation ainsi qu’à la joie et rendent hommage à la diversité de corps-esprit. Nous concluons que, dans un processus d’imagination radicale, les jeunes nous ont fourni un aperçu de l’avenir intergénérationnel, décolonisé, queer, et crip dont nous rêvons et nous ont aidés à le concrétiser dans l’espace que nous avons partagé.
