Spaces of reform, a social cartography

There is a whole spectrum of responses to the violences of the modern-colonial system: soft reform, which involves policies and practices; radical reform, including more people and perspectives; and beyond reform, which disinvests in the current unsustainable world and walk into the possibility of new worlds.

In this session, the Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures Collective introduces this spectrum, contextualising it in their Collective's pedagogy: based in hospicing worlds that are dying within and around us, facing our complicity in violence and unsustainability, composting our individual and collective shit, and holding space without falling apart.

They will also introduce the six-week online course they have curated, organised by advaya, titled Sensing Harm by Design, which is based on their work and pedagogy.
