What happens when the spaces we care about are threatened? How can collective resistance reshape place and belonging?
Defrente Studio invites you to the first event in a two-part series: a talk exploring how acts of resistance can create more just, inclusive, and meaningful environments.
Through three short talks and an open discussion, speakers will share global examples of ecological struggles, grassroots activism, and spatial justice movements. Together, we will explore how communities reclaim space, challenging dominant narratives and imagining alternative futures.
Defrente Studio is an interdisciplinary non-profit, championing social and spatial justice for historically-excluded voices.
