(Un)freedom at Europe’s border zones

In the series Decolonising La Mer Mortelle we will ask how refugeehood and migration can be decolonised. In this first of two meetings, our panel will put the experience of migrants in the center. They will focus on the possibilities of three alternative approaches: the autonomy of migration (Sandro Mezzadra), the phenomenology of freedom from refugees’ perspectives (Shahin Nasiri) and the decolonisation of political and cultural imaginaries about “refugees” (Nadica Denić). With a column by Farhad Alizadeh, who lives in Paris and lived in Lesvos and Thessaloniki as a refugee before.
