Panel Discussion: Fabulating Futures for a Planet in Crisis
Screening of film Milaap
Via Zoom at 3:00 PM CET to 6:00 PM CET
Woman. Life. Freedom. These three words stand for a courageous opposition movement, in honor of which Narges Mohammadi was awarded the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize “for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran and her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all.” (Nobel Committee, 2023). What if we took this principle of care reflected in these three words as a starting point to analyze and evolve current narratives and lived realities towards a more just, peaceful and sustainable coexistence?
Women, Life, Freedom: if we put these factors at the heart of our societies at large in a new social and ecological contract, what would these look and feel like?
