Let’s Talk About Alliances - A conversation format on intersectional aspects of alliance capacity and alliance building

“Let’s Talk About Alliances” is about engaging in conversation with each other. This is not about searching for simplified answers and unambiguities, but about finding questions about the diversity of our experiences. Between the utopian vision of a common future and the existential need for self-determined spaces, the necessary confrontation takes place in which the participants question their own positions again and again and engage in conversations from different perspectives. It will be about how to demand spaces from a marginalised perspective or how to release them from a privileged perspective; it will be an examination of processes of defence against the confrontation with one's own (conscious/unconscious) complicity in social systems of oppression; uncertainties will be generated and made productive in order to learn to listen and to unlearn what was thought to be safe.
