What is hidden is greater - RIF Podcast, Ep.4 - 4 February 2025

In this fourth episode of the Resistance is Fertile podcast, co-hosts Nounja, Sacha, and Benji explore the themes of awareness, responsibility, and the contrasting narratives of oppression and resistance.

They explore the psychological aspects of both oppressors and the oppressed, emphasizing the importance of understanding historical contexts and the limitations of mere awareness, especially Western awareness, in enacting change. The conversation highlights Indigenous perspectives on resistance, the dismantling of colonial narratives, and the implications of US imperialism. We call for a reimagining of resistance narratives and a deeper connection to community and land.
