Kinship, Communitas, Comunidad: Symposium
Please join us for the symposium ‘Kinship, Communitas, Comunidad’. Following last year’s panel discussion Global Indigenous? and the current issue of Afterall, a series of talks further discuss how kinship and community are important to strategies of sovereignty and resistance to colonialism.
