Our global economy is fundamentally governed by colonial logics. The resulting power inequalities, ecological destructions, and social corrosions severely impact the daily lives of people. They transform the way they feel about themselves, about others and about the world around them. Today, we talk with artist and writer Bassem Saad about the affective lives of colonial economies.

The affective lives of colonial economies

Colonialism is not only a thing of the past. It affects people all over the world, in the north and the south of our globe, every day. Colonialism can be many things: a structure of power, inequality, violence - but also a structure of feeling. In exciting conversations with academics, artists, journalists, and activists, we shed a critical light on colonialism's affective lives and afterlives. Together with them, we discuss the urgent struggles of our time and the different visions of how to decolonize our present. Find out more on our website: https://affect-and-colonialism.net
