SPRING Academy Trajectories: Protest & Future Imagination with Ntando Cele

What does it mean to not just “perform” our convictions but to truly “embody” them? When we protest for justice, are we actively shaping the future we want to see? We will ask ourselves what it takes to envision a future that aligns with the values we fight for. Is protest merely a temporary action to ease our conscience, or can it be a meaningful step toward lasting transformation? Together, we will reflect on our role in imagining whose future is worth fighting for. Hosted by Ntando Cele.
