In the past ten days, as I began my unflinching journey, I’ve explored how colonialism and capitalism have brought us to our deeply embedded systems of injustice and an existential crisis of unfolding environmental catastrophe.

We cannot confront and begin to find solutions to these things until we break out of our presence in them-physically, emotionally, psychologically, mentally and spiritually.

I’m blessed that a friend familiar with my journey told me about Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures which is about how we can break out of colonialism.

Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures (GTDF) is an arts/research collective that uses this website as a workplace for collaborations around different kinds of artistic, pedagogical, cartographic, and relational experiments that aim to identify and de-activate colonial habits of being, and to gesture towards the possibility of decolonial futures.
