AGAPE: Against Global Apartheid & Planetary Ecocide
AGAPE critiques and resists the intertwined systems of Global Apartheid and Planetary Ecocide by exposing the ecological and social consequences of colonial systems of “brutalization”. Rooted in care as a philosophical imperative, it gestures toward a decolonized world where relational practices replace extractive logics, guiding all other projects toward liberation and ecological restoration.
