Forging alliances and learning with struggles from Brazil

In times of multiple crises, political upheavals, and intensifying social debates, it is easy to lose hope for a livable future. This program invites the general public to reflect, learn, and connect with strategies and movements from the Global South to explore what we can create from the ground we inhabit. How can we repair what seems irreparable, the devastating loss brought by extractivism and ecological collapse? How might we imagine forms of justice that attend not only to human suffering, but also to the wounded landscapes and more-than-human worlds?

This series of gatherings invites us to reflect, listen, and learn together with activists, scholars, and artists from Brazil who are confronting the enduring violence of mining and extractive industries. Through their struggles in Minas Gerais (focusing on Brumadinho and Mariana) and Maranhão, we will talk about socio-territorial conflicts on land, soil and biodiversity and reflect on the necessity of reparation, the limits of this dominant resource-consuming economic system, but also on investigating practices of resistance and regeneration that seek to forge worlds and social ecological and economic transformation otherwise.
