Description

What happens when we stop assuming there is only one path to LGBTQIA+ liberation — or one place to imagine it from? This session brings three perspectives that challenge dominant human rights narratives, reimagining justice from the Global South and its diasporas: decolonial Maricx-Cuir approaches to transitional justice and memory; Afrofuturism as a framework for legal systems beyond today's institutions; and a reclaiming of constitutional and religious traditions within Sharia-influenced systems beyond simplistic narratives about Muslim-majority states. Together, these perspectives invite participants to rethink justice, leadership, and liberation through diverse cultural, historical, geographic, and political lenses.
