Dear Colleagues

There are so many of these presentations I would like to watch or share with my students but because we are 'downunder' they all happen in the middle of night in Australia and I wonder if information could be included about if they will be recorded and where they might be available later. thanks Sara

21st February - 1pm (UTC/GMT) De-colonizing our bodies: experiences and practices for reclaiming our whole body sovereignty How has modernity shaped the way we perceive, inhabit, and relate to our physical bodies? What does it mean to “reclaim whole body sovereignty”? How do we free not only our minds, but also the body from the shackles of coloniality and extractivism? How do we unroot the old myth of separation and domination from the sacred soil of our physical sanctuaries? And how might we begin to see our bodies as living systems - extensions of our Earthly home, interwoven with the fabric of life? Join us for an (un)learning journey guided by Wangui wa Kamonji. Together, we’ll dive deep into questions of decolonization, healing, and how to restore wholeness with(in) the sacred vessel that carries our story. Interpretation into Spanish will be available for this webinar. More information, registration and link to join About the speaker: Wangui wa Kamonji is called to be a retriever and bearer of indigenous Afrikan lifeways and practices for the regeneration of the continent. This manifests through research using academic and indigenous methods, Afrikan dance and movement practice, storytelling in written and oral forms, and facilitating public spaces for critical consciousness, decolonisation and transformation. Environmental issues she has worked on include the spirituality of nature, ecological histories in conflict zones, resistance to coal industry, indigenous women’s seed restoration, and ecologically sound urban waste cycles in Kenya, local responses to oil production in Uganda, and agroecological alternatives to international agribusiness in Kenya and Tanzania. She was part of the inaugural FRIDA Climate and Environmental Justice Fellowship researching and writing multimedia pieces on the intersections of gender and climate justice in East Afrika. This activity is organized by the Learning Thematic Group of the Global Tapestry of Alternatives.
