Event Details

Our global human society is dominated by colonial hegemony – one that perpetuates patriarchy, racism and extractive capitalism to favour our global ruling classes, who are overwhelmingly white, male, and Western. European world domination caused climate change, and now it seeks to convince us that CO2 emissions and global heating are THE global crises. The Global North conveniently ignores root issues like egotistical narcissist leadership, white supremacy, neocolonialism and imperialism, and our collective moral and spiritual crises; in favour of continuing to perpetuate ecocide and ethnocide across the Global South.  As we lean into civilisational collapse, are we actually able to understand “the crisis”?
