Love, Resistance and Other Survival Strategies was an experiment in radical community pedagogy in response to the Black Summer of 2019. Blending a reading group with the practice of philosophising, the project introduces participants to a broad range of radical alternatives to capitalism, colonialism and patriarchy through podcasts, poetry and essays. These ideas used as a springboard for facilitated discussion, with participants encouraged to reflect on their own experience, and how they might participate in imagining and creating a more just and interconnected world.
Love, Resistance and Other Survival Strategies has been presented as two curriculums. The first was a summer school on climate justice presented at Watch This Space, Mparntwe/Alice Springs in January 2020. The second was an online group in response to COVID19, held May-October 2020 and was funded by the Regional Arts Fund COVID response.
