Over the course of the Festival of Revolutions, revolutionaries from across the world came together to share ideas, experiences, and practical approaches to creating change. Bringing together activists, scholars, organizers, artists, and community leaders, the Festival explored how people are challenging systems of inequality and building alternatives rooted in solidarity, care, democracy, and collective power.
The discussions ranged from grassroots economic models and care-centred futures to international struggles for freedom, resistance, and social transformation. Rather than focusing only on the crises we face, these conversations asked what becomes possible when communities organize, imagine differently, and act together.
We’re now releasing recordings from the Festival on YouTube, with more sessions being added in the coming days. Whether you’re revisiting a conversation that resonated with you or discovering the Festival for the first time, these recordings offer a chance to engage with bold ideas and the people putting them into practice.
