Love against the state part 1: Young people

MAR 3, 202639 MIN

Description

This 2-part conversation focuses on love as a political force, with Balraj and Nuradin from Kids of Colour, an anti-racist youth organisation in Greater Manchester. In this episode they introduce the Boys and Love project, where they run sessions with boys of colour exploring themes of love, solidarity, masculinity, feminism and community. We talk about the oppressive environment of schools and the policing of racialised young people, and how to disturb those hierarchies and build solidarity. We discuss how dialogue sustains and transforms our communities, and think about love as a humanising force against state violence and punishment.
