October 04, 2021 Performative Activism, Capitalism? Yeah we’re confused too | With Anjali Sharma
On this week’s episode of N2BC, Varsha and Tiara are joined by climate activist Anjali Sharma for a segment.
Is all Activism “Performative”? Can Capitalism and Advocacy exist in the same space? And why do we use the term activist so exclusively, arent I just someone who cares?
This episode is all about dissecting capitalism and capitalist societies and their relationship with activism, what makes a good activist and the issue with exclusionary activism. As women with experience in Activist spaces and who have been labelled as such, they have noticed the discrepancies, the exclusion, the truths, the falsifications and the discourse that prevails when it comes to the nuances of advocacy.
Go follow Anjali Sharma! @anj.sharmaa https://www.instagram.com/anj.sharmaa
