5pm-6.30pm Standing on the shoulders of giants: Stories from the radical migrant movements of the last decades (video screenings and discussion)
Call for the Workshop: Much of the current debate on migration seems revolve around two supposedly opposing positions. While the political right argues for the need of evermore brutal exclusion in the name of (social) security, most of the left bases its arguments on the notion of equal (human) rights for migrants. While it seems crucial to hold up the banner of equality in times of racist backlashes, these appeals for a shared sense of humanity can do little to dispel the very real fears of poverty, social decline and precarity that fuel not only the political campaigns of the right but are also used by governments to justify their violent measures against migrants. In this workshop, we want to open a perspective of common liberation for migrants and non-migrants by fundamentally challenging the current system of global capitalism and nation states. Exploitation, precarity and insecurity will either end for all or for none.
Our goal is to open a space for reflection and debate. By using different methods and allowing people to freely choose which parts they want to participate in, we hope to be able to have a broad debate about the challenges and possibilities of emancipatory politics today.
