#47 Degrowth & Decoloniality

Hi everyone and welcome to the first episode of the three part mini-series “Queering the Perspective X Alt Shift Festival 2024"! The conversation is based on the roundtable discussion “Anti-Imperialism and Decoloniality” with the activists Chihiro Geuzebroek , Airam Quilla and spokeswomen of the organizations D.E.I. Futuro Antirazzista, Abya Yala De(s)colonial and Debt for Climate Austria

We begin the episode by introducing the festival and the concept of degrowth to those that are not (as) familiar to it. We then move on to issues such as climate justice, de-militarization and abolitionism as well as demands such as reparations and land back ! Lastly, we’re taking a critical view inside the structures of the alt-shift festival itself and analyze how to practically apply decoloniality within the degrowth movement to fight for “a world where many worlds fit” inspired by the the Zapatista vision.
