The Justice of Being Heard: Acknowledgment, Memory, and the Work of Peace
What do people seek when they seek justice? A judgment may establish responsibility. A truth commission may create a public record. An oral history may give someone the opportunity to tell a story that has long gone unheard. Although these processes have different powers and purposes, each can provide something fundamental: acknowledgment. Drawing on her work as a human rights lawyer and co-founder of Rerooted, Anoush Baghdassarian, along with her co-founder Ani Schug, will explore acknowledgment as the connective tissue among law, memory, storytelling, and peacebuilding.

Alternative Cultures: Visions of Futurity in Rural Asturias
Once best known for its cows and coal mines, the Spanish region of Asturias has become a cultural capital in recent years. Rural pueblos are at the epicenter of this renaissance, challenging urban-centric ideas of cultural production. Musicians, writers, and other artists look to the region’s agrarian and industrial past to imagine new futures. They incorporate folklore and ways of knowing inspired by older generations, constructing alternative notions of rurality grounded in queerness, inclusivity, and sustainability.
