Connecting to Endure: Practices of Resistance

The second video explores spaces of resistance built by those directly affected—spaces for dialogue, mutual support, joy, and collective creation. It challenges dominant notions of academic excellence and affirms alternative forms of knowledge rooted in lived experience and community ties. The video highlights creative practices, the unlearning of competitive paradigms, and the importance of cultivating spaces of solidarity, care, and dignity as a foundation for collective resistance.
