Defining Afrikan Liberation
Join us for our final pre-Gathering event, a pivotal webinar that sets the stage for the Afrikan Liberation Gathering. This event will deepen our collective understanding of Afrikan liberation, its rich history, and the journey towards our upcoming Gathering.

Afrikan Liberation: Re-imagining Afrikan Identities and Futures beyond the Neo-colonial Project
On July 12th the Afrikan Liberation Hub hosted its first Pre-Gathering discussion, Re-imagining Afrikan Identities and Futures beyond the Neo-colonial Project, at Makers Valley Partnership Studio in Victoria Yards.
Our first question asked us to reflect on how our Afrikan Identities have existed alongside queerness, spotlighting colonialism and its impact on our self-understanding, community relationality, and history.
Our second question explored the impact of neocolonialism on imagination, specifically how we imagine liberation across economic, social, and political spheres. Lastly, our discussants affirmed the importance of Hopeful Activism and how we move forward through discussion. The discussion was full of rich insights from all participants who we thank for their attendance and contributions!
