What is an ally? Join us for an exploration of allyship and its role in historic, present and future decolonial projects.
Free tickets: https://www.beinghumanfestival.org/events/hope-and-history-allyship
From journalists and artists to Scottish intellectuals, we will uncover the importance – and limits – of shaping public consciousness through writing and movement, reclaiming hidden narratives of the colonised, and envisioning decolonised futures for everyone. This event unlocks history's profound lessons to showcase the impact of decolonial approaches, and highlights how institutions can foster allyship.
Expand your understanding and join the conversation.
Speakers include Dr Anna Girling, Dr Alok Oak and Dr Farah Saleh.
