S02 Ep 07: until next time

Season 2 · Episode 7

Thursday, May 23, 2024 • Duration 11:56

This episode needs an introduction: we defend the spontaneity of podcasts and we think that linking professionality to the use of expensive technical means is yet one more attempt to keep power and resources in the hands of those few who can afford them.
Nevertheless we are conscious that the sound of this episode is especially disturbing.
Thank you for keeping supporting us, your support is our strength!

Join us as we conclude the second season of this podcast. We explore the essence of decolonial practices, reflecting on our journey.
We try to pull the threads of the practices discussed: reconnecting with nature, challenging binaries and imagining a more equitable future.

What does it mean in a world where humanitarian and development actions are more needed than ever?
What does it mean for people working in our sector?
How can we practice decoloniality and remain relevant?

Until next time, stay engaged, curious and decolonial.

S01 Ep 04: Themrise

Season 1 · Episode 4

Wednesday, July 26, 2023 • Duration 15:36

In this episode of Living Decoloniality, Carla interviews Themrise Khan.
Themrise is an independent professional in international development, based in Pakistan, who is working to develop what she calls “a new ecosystem for international aid”.
Themrise is not interested in using the framework of coloniality, although what she says echoes very much concepts and theories discussed in this podcast so far. She aims at creating a new roadmap that each country -and she stresses the national dimension of her plan – changes the way they live, provide, and ask for international aid.

S01 Ep 03: Adriana, Kewan and Viola

Season 1 · Episode 3

Wednesday, July 19, 2023 • Duration 17:44

This episode is focused on cooperation among universities.
This kind of cooperation, fostered by programs and funds called “cooperation North-South” or “triangular cooperation”, sits on a number of unspoken colonial dynamics that Carla will start unpacking through her interview.

The guests of this episode are three researchers: Adriana Moreno Cely, Kewan Mertens and Viola Nyakato. Through the story of how they personally met and decided to have open-ended transformative dialogues to iteratively unveil coloniality in their life and work, the 3 researchers share with us their decolonial practices and the methodology they are developing to tackle their own coloniality.

S01 Ep 02: Karishma

Season 1 · Episode 2

Wednesday, July 12, 2023 • Duration 16:34

In this episode Carla Vitantonio interviews Karishma Shafi (she/her)
Karishma is a program manager at One future collective.
She is an activist and researcher in the field of gender, media and culture. She aims to understand and address gender-based oppression along the axes of power and privilege. Her work at OFC focuses on shifting public narrative and policy with a social justice orientation.

One Future Collective is a feminist social purpose organisation with a vision of a world built on social justice, led by communities of care. We exist to nurture people’s feminist and rights-based leadership and influence their micro-communities and ecosystems to achieve social justice: through an alt school, advocacy lab and feminist justice project.

Starting from a definition of coloniality, Karishma shares her lived experience as a woman grown up in India, and brings us to reflect on coloniality in several realms, insisting on coloniality of knowledge. She explains how projects are often built on knowledge and practices that are not related to the knowledge and practices of the community that participates into the project.

When asked about her decolonial practices, she especially focuses on community work, and challenges concepts as “service provision”, proposing alternatives through examples from OFC’s work.

S02 Ep 03: Giulia and Ria

Season 2 · Episode 3

Thursday, March 28, 2024 • Duration 14:46

In this episode I address one of the implicit narratives of coloniality: the narrative that separates humans from nature, giving the firsts power over the second.
I delve into the concept of 'coloniality of being' and its impact on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR).

In an insightful interview with two members of the Feminist Hiking Collective, I explore their research triggers, and learn how they rebel against colonial perspectives, and navigate the intersection of nature, humanity, and decoloniality.

The transcript is available here

FHC - Feminist Hiking Collective is a feminist non-profit organisation formed in January 2020 and registered in Italy.
