Indigenous, North American, South African, New Zealand and Irish artists, activists and scholars who share a common concern in addressing the painful histories of dispossession will engage in conversations that consider what it means to attend to places wounded by the legacies of historical violence.
Through workshops, talks, walks and exhibition, participants will ‘map’ displacement, inequality and and social-ecological damage, and explore alternative spatial imaginaries tied to decolonisation, memory-work, care and spatial justice, the better to meet local-global challenges.
