Environmental activism: Stories from India, Bolivia & The NL

In this lecture we will focus on environmental activism worldwide. OtherWise has invited three speakers who will tell you first person memoirs of their experiences with doing activism or documenting it. Stories are told about Bolivia, India and The Netherlands with a lot of room for questions and interaction.

The first two speakers are part of Code Rood: Talissa Soto and Chihiro Geuzebroek. Code Rood is a Dutch direct action group that fights against the fossil fuel industry. Next to being active in Code Rood, Chihiro Geuzebroek made a documentary about environmental activism and human rights in Bolivia, called "Radical Friends". The third speaker is Esha Shah, assistant professor at the Water Resources Management group of the WUR. Esha Shah does research on two major political movements in India: the Maoist movement and anti-large dam movement. All speakers focus on the intersection of environmentalism and inequality issues.

The doors open at 19.30 so you can enjoy a drink before the event starts. We hope to have an inspiring evening together.


This lecture is part of an lecture series on activism organised by OtherWise.
