Iranian feminist revolutionaries, Latin American “mulherismo”, Kurdish “women’s liberation” movements, and similar feminist approaches do not – as liberal and predominantly Western feminist agendas do – restrict themselves to demands for equal shares in the eroding paradigm of the current toxic way of life. Instead, they understand patriarchy to be intersectionally intertwined with extractivism, state violence, and capitalism. For those struggles, mostly originating in the South, feminism is more than a quest for equality or individual empowerment – it is a political project that aims at social justice and structural transformation: decolonization and planetary care work, political sovereignty, socialization of social reproduction, and revolutionary democratization of the everyday.

Between June 30 and July 2, the gathering assembled prominent feminist movements, researchers, and cultural workers – Latin American collectives, Kurdish, Iranian, and North African liberation movements, as well as queer and trans-feminist positions – through a collective curatorial process. Here you can find a selection of video recordings.
