Rest and joy are forms of resistance — they can be. When do they unfold this political power? There is a long history of this form of resistance and an ongoing academic as well as activist discussion about it. Here, among others, theatre scholar and performer Nebou N’Diaye, education and gender studies scholar Prof. Dr. Maisha-Maureen, and author, translator, and activist Yezenia Léon Mezu come together to bring together their experiences from different contexts and to explore across generations how we can and want to celebrate in a world where right-wing forces are increasingly gaining approval and power.
