Silvia Federici on war and social reproduction

For the 2024 Triple Canopy Symposium’s opening keynote, Silvia Federici—the celebrated feminist theorist and activist—spoke about attacks on life and the structures that sustain society, from the United States to Palestine to Sudan. She examined contemporary movements against misogyny, racism, capitalism, and the exploitation of the planet, taking up feminist theories of care work, ecological struggle, and demands for more communal ways of living. Federici’s talk was followed by a Q&A moderated by contributing editor Yasmina Price.
