The practice of North African Indigenous revolutionary love, in the face of European capitalist violence and settler colonialism, with one of the most vital anti-colonial thinkers in Europe.
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
