Reclaiming Homeland – Anticolonial Tuesdays

Crisis Mirror has seized the opportunity to transform the ground floor of Folkets Hus in an open anticolonial room.

Looking and hearing at the experience of colonised people, the obstacles that imperial forces set to their lives, the daily fights they go through to reclaim their right to their land, is not just a way to acknowledge their situation.

It also poses valid questions to our existence as revolutionary subjects: When enough is enough? When do we stop being passive to the sight and sound of injustice? When do we actively partake in anti-colonial struggle, confronting dispossession and occupation by resistance and solidarity?

The siege is lying in wait.
It is lying in wait on a tilted stairway
in the midst of a storm.
We are alone. We are alone to the point
of drunkenness with our own aloneness,
with the occasional rainbow visiting.
We have brothers and sisters overseas…
kind sisters, who love us…
who look our way and weep.
And secretly they say
“I wish that siege was here, so that I could…”
But they cannot finish the sentence.
Do not leave us alone. No.
Do not leave us alone.
