It consists of two full days (Sunday, November 16 & Saturday, November 22) of community sharing, imagining, creating, and mutual learning. Come to learn about other perspectives, both human and non-human, and find a way to fight for true liberation together and of all.

Brown Skin, White Vegan: reflections on decolonising veganism

Format: Lecture & discussion

Influenced by Frantz Fanon's work on the psychology of colonialism, I invite us to reflect together on how we might decolonize our approach to veganism. I've come to realize that the veganism I once held as unquestionably ethical was, in many ways, shaped by a colonial framework seeking acceptance within a white-dominant moral culture. This realization has forced me to confront the tension between my commitment to decolonization and my participation in systems that may reproduce oppression. I remain deeply devoted to animal liberation, but now I understand that true liberation also requires examining how even our most sincere ethical practices can carry traces of colonial influence.

15:30 – 16:00

Break / Art viewing

16:00 – 17:00

Animal labour: animals as part of a working class?

Format: Presentation + discussion

Can we understand the activity of “farm animals” in factory farms, which generates extreme profits, as labour? What role does it play in capitalist society and how is it linked to other forms of precarious work? Can we think of a multi‑species labour movement?
