An initiative of Strike MoMA Working Group
Courtney Skye, Mik Migwans, Andrew Ross, Amin Husain and Nitasha Dhillon in conversation on Friday, April 1, 6:30-8pm
The university, museum, and city are sites of struggles and organizing. Organizing, research, aesthetics, and action are rooted in interconnected struggles that are anti-colonial, anti-imperial, anti-patriarchal, and anti-capitalist. Where we find ourselves are sites of refusal, refuge, sabotage, infrastructure, sanctuary, play, togetherness, and exit. How do we resist and unsettle settler colonial structures in our cities as we build movement infrastructures of care and solidarity on the path of collective freedom and liberation? Let this be training in the practice of freedom.
When we breathe we breathe together.
