This paper is foremost about experiments in embodying a transformative narrative of self that makes possible mutual collaborative practice with others. The focus less on what we ought to think or do, but rather subtracting, letting go, self-identities are no longer fit for purpose. We refer this as subtractive awareness by which mean becoming aware obstacles inhibit creative action In time when dominant narratives call endless growth, accumulation and addition, there perhaps an overlooked value subtraction practiced support collaboration. align writers such Jason Hickel (2020), practitioners the degrowth movement argue era perpetual expansion, “less more.”
