How do we work towards transforming the ways of articulating critique today? Which tools and tactics can we engage to shift the terms of our conversations? How do we form the alliances which we need now? How can we practice solidarity to dismantle the hegemonic identity politics and the current logics of production?
Tjaša Kancler, Aino Korvensyrjä and Katia Sepúlveda will share their practices to open up a debate on how the notion of solidarity can be repoliticized today.
