Patriarchy’s tantrum of death sees attacks on trans people, refugees, migrants, and “politics of inclusion” which is shorthand for the right to racism and misogyny.
The end might come in the guise of climate breakdown, or social uprisings, but it is coming closer, and we are part of it.
In this performance talk, combining text and visuals, Mijke van der Drift and Zissel Aronow offer transfeminist concepts and practices for helping patriarchy face its own bitter end.
