Presented by Radical Ecology, Francoise Verges will deliver a key-note presentation in the Purcell Room, reflecting on the context of the UK’s Illegal Migration Bill and drawing connections between forced migration, climate breakdown, gender violence and systemic violence to insist on the need to develop and enhance international solidarity in the face of these interconnected planetary crises.

Francoise Verges is a renowned decolonial activist and theorist, who through works including A Decolonialism Feminism and A Feminist Theory of Violence explores the intersections of race, migration and gender in the context of 21st century global capitalism.

The panel will be moderated by filmmaker, activist and founder/director of Radical Ecology, Ashish Ghadiali and will be followed by a Q&A.

This event is part of Refugee Week, and launching Migrant Futurism, a long-term strand of research and public programming by Radical Ecology and in collaboration with Counterpoints Arts and the Southbank Centre.

Migrant Futurism is a long-term curatorial project, led by Radical Ecology, that interrogates cultural strategies, in the context of displacement, for the imagination of just and sustainable futures.
