Activism in Process: Projects from Afghanistan, Puerto Rico, and Tunisia

12 pm New York l 6 pm Vienna

OSUN members are invited to join a panel discussion with the Center for Human Rights and the Arts' current collaborators in “Activism in Process”.

CHRA collaborates annually with a group of activists and organizers who are leading grassroots efforts in their communities. For our first “Activism in Process”, we are bringing together Badr Baabou from Damj (a LGBTQ++ rights organization based in Tunisia); Ernesto Pujol (a social choreographer based in Puerto Rico); and Elizabeth Rubin and Natasha Matteson from Last Exit Kabul (a global network supporting Afghan refugees).

Elizabeth Rubin and Natasha Matteson work with Last Exit Kabul, a civic initiative made up of journalists and activists who came together to help Afghans, left behind by the U.S. withdrawal, escape and survive. 

Ernesto Pujol is founder of The Listening School, which teaches deep-listening skills for the creation of conscious culture; The Savage Gardener Studio, which works to decolonize island ecology by designing native & edible gardens of sited memory; and Casa Pujol, an interdisciplinary residency for visiting scholars in San Juan. 

Badr Baabou works with Damj, the first LGBTQ+ rights organization in Tunisia that creates safe spaces for the LGBTQ+ community in Tunisia and a legal support team to counter arrests. Damj works towards a vision of a pluralistic, egalitarian and safe Tunisia, focusing on abolishing law 230 of the penal code, which bans homosexuality.
