Between the Local and Global: Palestine as Indigenous and anti-Imperialist Struggle

In this interactive workshop we examine the concepts of indigeneity and imperialism in relation to Palestine. Through growing our understanding of indigeneity and imperialism, participants will understand Palestine as a local Indigenous struggle for decolonisation, frame Palestine as part of a global anti-imperialist struggle, and explore how together these frameworks shape our demands and strategies.
