Killjoy Solidarity with Sara Ahmed
March 8 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Killjoy Solidarity Event, Feminist Library, March 8th, 4-6pm.
Join us on IWD to express killjoy solidarity, the solidarity we need to face what we come up against!
This informal discussion, led by feminist of colour scholar-activists Sara Ahmed and Akanksha Mehta, marks the moment of the paperback release of The Feminist Killjoy Handbook. We hope to create a space for shared reflection on how we survive and transform institutions, finding each other in the midst of many violences. We will keep in mind Chicana-Palestinian feminist Sarah Ihmoud’s vital question, “What does it mean to practice feminism in a moment of bearing witness to genocide?”
Sara Ahmed (she/her) is a queer feminist scholar of colour. She has been writing about feminist killjoys for some time (but has been a feminist killjoy for much longer).
Akanksha Mehta (she/her) is a queer feminist educator, researcher, and writer from India, living in SE London. She likes to fight, dismantle, build and dreams of a world that is not so exhausting for every one of us.
