Nabil Ahmed took part in the session ’Climate Justice From De-Colonialist Perspectives’, along with Himali Singh Soin, writer and artist, and Jack Tan, artist. The event was integrated in the three-part series of conversations entitled ‘Framework For Resilience’, at FACT, Liverpool.

This particular session, mediated by curator Helen Starr, starts from a collection of questions of how we engage with time, land and ownership: What happens if we consider that the very earth and trees, as well as non-sentient beings like AI and stones, have rights? How can we understand time and consequence differently: understanding that indigenous deaths caused climate change in 1600, and prevent the repeating of history? How do we peacefully transform a racialised colonial system which values the very commodities which are destroying lives, bodies, and lands?
