Kada države stvaraju megapolise, siromašni se često istiskuju. U ovom dirljivom poetskom govoru, OluTimehin Adegbeye objašnjava kako se neustavnim državnim otimačinama zemlje uništavaju životi tisuća ljudi koji žive u priobalnim zajednicama u Lagosu u Nigeriji, kako bi se napravilo mjesta za „novi Dubai“. Želi da svoje države i sebe same smatramo odgovornima za čuvanje gradova koji bi bili sigurni za sve. Kaže: „Gradovi koje vrijedi graditi, budućnosti koje vrijedi sanjati, uključuju sve nas, bez obzira na to tko smo ili kako stvaramo svoje domove.”

05:38
because the first thing we are taught

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
OluTimehin Adegbeye - Writer, activistWriting on urban development, sexual and reproductive rights, gender and queerness, OluTimehin Adegbeye resists marginalization by reminding her audiences of the validity of every human experience.
Why you should listen
OluTimehin Adegbeye is a writer and speaker who does rights-based work in the areas of urban development, gender, sexualities and sexualized violence. Her social commentary takes the form of non-fiction, auto-fiction and poetry -- as well as sometimes quite strongly worded Twitter threads. A firm believer in lived experience as a legitimate source of knowledge, she often draws her broader political analyses from personal stories.
Adegbeye identifies as a de-colonial feminist, with a political praxis rooted in Womanist and Black Feminist thought. In deconstructing how power, social services, housing, capital and other resources are distributed and/or denied within globalized societies, her ultimate goal is to reinscribe the intrinsic value of human life.
