SPECIAL: Worldmaking (or how to get more feminist narratives for a caring economy)

  Join us for a special episode in which we explore the role of arts and imagination in changing the script towards a more just and caring economy. It is increasingly recognized that narratives play a key role in how we understand and navigate the world, รกnd in how decisions are taken that affect us all. As our economies favor the few and are increasingly unsustainable: How can we challenge the dominant narratives that hold us back (such as "economic growth is THE way")? How can we build and amplify alternatives that work for women and all living species? What are the conversations and approaches that could help us move towards a shared sense of what is also possible, based on diverse voices and knowledges?

In this final episode of the 'Let's talk about solidarity' series we dive into what solidarity can look like when autocrats and anti-rights groups gain power, and some groups are hit harder or earlier than others?  We have two amazing guests, Akshita Siddula, community organizer and leadership coach from Baltimore, US, and Rafael Barrio de Mendoza Zavallos, researcher and Cambridge Phd candidate from Lima, Peru.  What can we learn from what is happening in the US and Peru when it comes to who is affected and who is standing up? What does solidarity mean in a context of serious attacks on democracy and rights? How can we foster solidarity and what role can it play in defending rights and possibly reimagining democracy altogether? As many look at today's political...
