This Solidarity Encounter will be a dialogue between adrienne maree brown, who grows healing ideas in public; Devin Atallah, a member of the Indigenous Palestinian decolonial healing collective CURCUM*; and Grassroots International staff.

The conversation will be centered on exploring the meaning and significance of the praxis of healing justice in Black Feminist, Palestinian, and other interconnected social movements working for decolonization and collective liberation. The apocalyptical violences of colonialism have historically and ongoingly created conditions that seek to make life unlivable for the colonized, in ways that are deeply racialized, gendered, sexist, ableist, and classist.

Although different, both adrienne’s and Devin’s works center commitments to be a part of collective efforts that are re-imagining ways of living and healing through border-defying radical relationalities, and the promise of decolonial love. Trina Jackson and Ayman Nijim, who coordinate Grassroots International’s US Internationalist and Middle East programs respectively, will facilitate the conversation and tie it back to Grassroots International’s healing justice and Black and Palestinian solidarity work.
