#fromthevault 📻 A conversation with Lola Olufemi, feminist writer, organiser and thinker.

We talk about imagination as political necessity, the archive as a site of encounter, conflict in coalition-building, and art as rehearsal for new worlds.

⏳ “History is not closed—memory, imagination and action must be held together in struggle.”

Cara New Daggett: "This idea of growth is a quite recent experiment, and maybe it’s not the best experiment to be having. Part of the power of something like growth is the way it gets naturalized and then it shuts down the idea that anything else should happen because this is just kind of ‘human nature or ‘nature itself’ or ‘the only thing that we can do’'.”

Listening to Canadaland's Backbench episode on Zoomer apathy and am so frustrated (that they aren't on the Fedi) by the way that popular political imagination seems to limit potential futures to either (1 restoration of represenitive, liberal democracy or (2 collapse into unmitigated climate chaos and fascism!
