Indigenous Perspectives on Eco-Justice
24.5.2021
With Petra Laiti
Indigenous people have been marginalized by colonialism for centuries. In the era of the climate crisis, the general public has become increasingly aware that indigenous people play a key role in upholding eco-systems in their traditional lands. Still, the climate movement is not exempt from marginalizing indigenous voices. How can indigenous people be brought to the forefront of the climate debate? How can we recognize when we are trying to do good, but end up doing harm instead?
Join us for a conversation with Sámi activist and writer Petra Laiti (Mihku Ilmára Mika Petra). The talk was facilitated by Henriette Friis and Eva Duran Sánchez from Futures Feminist Helsinki.

Decentralisation as a Practice for Liberation and Resilience
19.5.2021
With Synes Elischka
In this lecture Synes Elischka talks about their own experience of co-creating a decentralised organisation structure for Querq / Nurja in Helsinki, and give some tips for how to get started experimenting with the ways in which we organise ourselves.The talk was facilitated by Henriette Friis from Futures Feminist Helsinki.
Take a moment to think about all the different organisations that you participate in: how many of them are built around "coercive power," using punishment or reward to make us act to meet the needs of the system? Decentralisation is about finding an organisation structure that constantly evolves, and adapts to our needs and values… So instead of humans adjusting themselves to the need of the system, we keep updating our systems so they meet our needs.
