Cross-border Insurgent Solidarities and Abolitionist Infrastructures of Care

This talk emerges as collaborative work with t.i.c.t.a.c., a transfeminist antiracist collective in Barcelona and EuropeOther in Tirana organizing at the intersection of migrant justice, abolitionist and decolonial praxis. 

Abstract

This talk reflects on cross-border grassroots infrastructures of care, mutual aid networks, antiracist legal accompaniment, autonomous archives, and direct action as insurgent enactments that build transversal abolitionist networks rooted in interdependence, radical reciprocity, and collective survival.
