Subaltern Speaks explores the legacies of colonialism on the religion and spiritualities of colonized peoples, otherwise known as the “Subaltern” in Post-Colonial Studies, and how they have and continue to challenge these legacies through art, activism, academia, and other cultural and social mechanisms. Through meaningful conversations with leading thinkers, academics, activists, artists and spiritual leaders in our community and beyond, we seek to dismantle how colonialism and decolonization is understood, and how it continues to be practiced today.
