Join us for an afternoon of walking, foraging, storytelling, and dreaming liberation. We gather around themes of land justice, food justice, and solidarity with Palestine, and the event consists of a guided plant/foraging walk, a spoken-word performance, and a picnic of childhood snacks. Through these practices, we'll think collectively through our relations with places and plants, roots and routes, and liberatory pasts and futures.
The event is organised by the Anti-Genocide University - a project based at UCL that seeks to create a space within the university to host and support intellectual interchange and creative collaborative research and knowledge production that addresses colonial violence, experiences of war and the ongoing repercussions of genocide. The project team are engaged in the collective study of genocide across multiple historical and geographical contexts: Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. By foregrounding relations, shared struggles, and solidarities that cohere against multiple forms of atrocity, the project seeks to build a collective imagination of how the university might operate as a bulwark against colonial violence.
This event is supported by funding from UCL Grand Challenge of Cultural Understanding.
