When the system aims to turn us into sad consumers, we will rise up, dance, sing and be strong together.\nEach gathering is dedicated to community building and promotes collective activism, working joyfully and creatively with the means of dance, music, textile art and graphic & design on the topics of climate justice and the social aspects of climate protection and democracy.\n\nComing together to prepare graphics and visual material\nComing together to politicize our favorite dances\nComing together to decolonize our bodies through dance\nComing together to design our costumes for resistance through joy\nComing together to politicize cooking and eating together\n\n \nSusana Ojeda, anthropologist, filmmaker, and activist, explores decolonial and eco-feminist themes, delving into connections with more-than-human beings and honoring ancestral knowledge through short films, installations, and readings.
