The Worldeater Series is hosted by co-authors of Colonial Sustainability: Tracing the Sustainability Industry’s Ecocidal Lineage from the Doctrine of Discovery (Sayson et al, 2024).  The workshops are facilitated by co-authors Samantha Suppiah, Anna Denardin and Luiza Oliveira of the POSSIBLE FUTURES Crew, with plenary discussion and closing commentary from co-author, renowned decolonial scholar and Co-President of Frantz Fanon Foundation, Prof. Nelson Maldonado-Torres.

 

Participants of this workshop series can expect to be introduced to decolonial perspectives and discussions in each of the three themes.  A two-page brief and 30min discussion video on the theme will be provided ahead of each workshop.  Workshops themselves will be highly participatory, in collectively interrogating colonial sustainability.
