CARE PROJECTS: ANTI-RACISM PROJECT

Drawing on a culture-centered approach to resisting racist structures across global contexts, this project spans five countries, putting forth a framework for conceptualising racism and developing anti-racist interventions. Based on the concepts of solidarity and connecting across anti-oppressive struggles that have been theorized by CARE activists-in-residence Teanau Tuiono, Marise Lant, and Byron Clark, the projects explore the intersections among diverse anti-racist struggles.

They attend to the communicative infrastructures of hate that are catalysed by digital capital, and organized by populist authoritarian forces across the globe, seeking to build transformative communicative infrastructures that are rooted in the participation of communities at the “margins of the margins” experiencing hate. The participation of those at the margins forms the basis for anti-racist campaigns and anti-racist policies, building a material framework for intervening into the global flows of racism across contexts.

A decolonizing register for resisting racism foregrounds community voices, conceptualizing peace and social cohesion in the lived experiences and struggles for social justice among communities at the margins. This programme of research is complemented by activist-on-residence series that has hosted leading anti-racist activists Sangeetha Thanapal, Teanau Tuiono, Marise Lant, and Andrew Judd.
