The POC Decol Hui aims to open up space for discussion around being marginalised gendered tangata whenua and non-pakeha tau iwi people in Aotearoa. Examining the inherent power dynamics interwoven into our lives, connections between racism, sexism, colonisation, classism and other oppressions, and working in predominantly pakeha activist scenes... and how these things affect us and the feminist/ social justice/ peace/ revolutionary work we do.
The weekend will be grounded around those main themes. There will be spaces for discusions to happen. We hope that this gathering will enable us to share some experiences and tools for critiquing, challenging, and overcoming these oppressions. There will be discussion forums, workshops and skill shares.
The POC Decol Hui is volunteer run.If anyone has a workshop, skill share, discussion idea, from zine making, recipe swapping, difficult convos with family, kissing booths etc, that they would like to run please get in contact and let us know.
Further details (time, location) posted soon.Full(ish) programme will be posted in Jan 2012.
Exact info etc will be getting sussed shortly, consider this a heads up to get excited!!! Also for all our pakeha commrades out there fighting oppression, we welcome your support. Some things you could possibly do; include help with childcare, fundraising, food, places for people to stay during the hui etc. Get in touch!
