For our April reading group, we’ll read a few chapters from Ailton Krenak’s Ancestral Future. Everyone welcome!

In Ancestral Future, leading Indigenous thinker and activist Ailton Krenak calls for an alternative to the imagined futurity of capitalism. Instead calling upon Indigenous ways of knowing and relating to the earth, he describes an alternative future as ancestral. In so doing, he grounds the future in the present, “in that which exists around us, in the rivers and mountains and trees that are our kin.”

We’ll meet on Zoom on Friday 10 April at 14.00 CET/Sweden time: https://liu-se.zoom.us/j/61719459030?pwd=FeCWbLwrIaa4TPgaosKaJ6sIeCXO8j.1
