Join The Decolonial Centre for their in-person monthly reading group!
April’s in-person reading group will think with Black Feminist Ecologies, exploring the intimate links between the ecological crisis and systemic gendered and racial inequality under global capitalist modernity. Delving into Black feminist ecological thought, theory and wisdoms, participants will be invited to explore and (re)imagine what environmental justice looks like alongside forms of fugitive planning that challenge racial capitalism. We will consider our relationship with the nonhuman living world and what it would mean to decolonise our approach to nature, centering connection and care rather than extraction.
Texts will include Black Feminist Ecological Thought: A Manifesto by Chelsea Mikael Frazier and Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer.
Print-outs will be provided as well as teas and light snacks.
This event is part of The Decolonial Centre’s monthly reading series. Through mid-month gatherings we collectively read and study decolonial ideas and history, building community along the way. Each month we will explore pressing questions from a decolonial lens, offering space to think critically about the challenge of dismantling the enduring legacies of colonialism today.
The Decolonial Centre is a political education platform committed to spreading anti-colonial and decolonial perspectives on history, social theory, and current affairs. We deliver our work via our Newscast episodes, Decolonial Encycopaedia, and community events. By fostering solidarity and collaboration, we aim to amplify the powerful movements at the forefront of challenging and dismantling the enduring legacies of colonialism today. Our vision is to help inspire a new intergenerational cohort of activists that pushes for systems change and create links between communities in struggle.
