About the Legacy Series
The legacy series is a long form conversation with senior feminists. These conversations take place over three or four episodes tracing feminist journeys and lessons over time.
About the episode
In the final episode of our Legacy Series with Françoise Vergès, we look forward to the politics of dreaming, imagining, and organising beyond the colonial systems of violence that shape our world, from the climate crisis to border regimes.
We explore how decolonial feminism offers not just a critique, but a vision for environmental justice, collective liberation, and the right to breathe.
