enough. 2025

Alarmed by the escalating violence in eastern DR Congo, we see how more than 7 million people have already been displaced. Among them are mainly women, children, and particularly vulnerable groups living in overcrowded camps under precarious conditions. Driven by international profit interests, Black lives have been devalued, resources plundered, and communities uprooted for centuries.

Dorcas from the freecongo collective was in Goma in the winter of 2024, but this experience was not a simple journey back home. She will talk about what it means to be an internally displaced person in eastern Congo, about her connection to the women there, but also about the ongoing pain of a genocide that never ends but continues to be ignored by the world.

The silence in the colonial centers is not neutral. Has violence against Black bodies become so normalized that it no longer shocks us? Or is it an attempt to make the complicity of European politics, business, and media invisible?

This info session will introduce the “Apartheid Free Zone” (AFZ) campaign through concrete steps and examples of its implementation, along with input from the Boycott National Committee Palestine (BNC) on the current situation of Israeli apartheid policies. It will also serve as an opportunity for networking. Together, we will explore how this campaign empowers institutions, organizations, and individuals to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people through political education, boycotts, and public outreach, and to locally resist these racist and colonial structures. Participants are invited to bring their own ideas and suggestions for potential AFZs in advance.

This activist roundtable brings together 20 participants, including invited guests, for a collective discussion on the challenges and possibilities of visualizing dissident. The conversation will focus on how activists can navigate increasing censorship on social media platforms and how to mobilize through social media without losing sight of direct political engagement and the importance of taking up physical space. We will also explore ways to visually represent political complexity without distortion and to avoid reproducing colonial and racialized narratives in our imagery and storytelling.

In the moderated discussion we will be discussing topics as the role of culture and arts in solidarity and resistance movements, alliances between different communities, the Blasian March and colonial continuities.

An essential part of global colonialism is the suppression of the colonized people’s ability to flee and migrate. Switzerland is at the forefront of this system with its particularly brutal deportation machinery. But since December 2024, detainees at the Bässlergut deportation prison in Basel have begun organizing. Through hunger strikes, they are resisting imprisonment, poor detention conditions, and deportations. They share their struggle via the Instagram channel @freemerou. In May, around 50 detainees at the Zurich deportation prison also went on hunger strike and wrote a letter with their demands to the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) and the prison administration. The trigger were two deaths and several suicide attempts. In our event, we want to give space to the voices of the imprisoned themselves and collectively search for ways to resist.

What do deportation prisons have to do with me? How can I support the resistance inside and connect it to my political practice?

A few months ago, the struggle of imprisoned people in Swiss deportation detention intensified against inhumane conditions and Fortress Europe in general. In solidarity with their resistance, various support groups have formed, working together with the prisoners for the abolition of deportation prisons. In this workshop, we want to explore why these prisons concern all of us and how we can take action against them. Because the prisoners’ struggle is our struggle, and an attack on one is an attack on all of us.

To conclude enough. 2025, we want to come together in our closing plenary session and once again focus on our keynote questions. After all, decolonial resistance does not arise in a vacuum. It is a response to violence that is often made invisible or downplayed. Stories and images shape how we perceive this violence and whether it is acknowledged or kept silent. What narratives are used to weaken resistance? Who decides what qualifies as violence in the first place? We will talk about colonialism today, about the connection between historical and contemporary genocides, and about racist discourses that justify war and criminalize resistance. And most importantly: How can we struggle in solidarity and be effective today without reproducing colonial and racist patterns?
