Feminist Realities: Transforming democracy in times of crisis

Of Note

This conversation takes a deep dive into the realities of how capitalism promotes commodities (dead things) while profits of the health of people (Living things) and offers a course of action.

The Conversation

This highly inspiring global panel of feminist thinkers and activists discuss how we can collectively reorganise, shift power and pivot towards building transformative feminist realities that can get us out of the worsening health, climate and capitalist crises.

What can we learn? What can we do?

This webinar  explores feminist analyses of the crisis and the way the pandemic intersects with patriarchy, corporate power and a global division of labour that is both gendered and racialised. What can we learn from the feminist practices and measures that are already being deployed to build radical democratic systems that genuinely care for the environment and our collective well-being?
