Event on July 24th: The Ego of Activism: A Conversation with Bayo Akomolafe
Friendly critics draw a distinction between the goals and methods of social justice activism. While the intentions are good, the dominant display of social justice activism is contributing to a political culture that strips contentious issues of nuanced discussion.
Even if activists are completely right on these issues, this isn’t a good strategy to get the rest of the world on board.
In this event, Ronan Harrington and Bayo Akomolafe will be exploring the wounds, traumas, limiting beliefs and primal desires that animate this collective ego and how to playfully disarm it.
When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people or changed who can see it, or it’s been deleted.
