DESCRIPTION:In light of the multiple crises advanced by late-stage capita
 lism\, movements for socio-ecological transformation embrace a new kind 
 of political belonging and relation\, as they articulate alternative pos
 itions to the status quo and theorise and practice change. Hence\, they 
 challenge a system that seeks to alienate people from nature and from ea
 ch other. Inspired by Glissant’s “poetics of relation”\, a relational co
 nception of human existence can act as a tool to counter the West’s impo
 sition of universalist values. Glissant endorses the idea that local act
 ion needs to be combined with global consciousness of Relation\, alignin
 g local struggles into a context of a larger struggle. Living in a globa
 l system that fundamentally disagrees with your values is highly disturb
 ing and alienating. Thus\, we must create and strengthen bonds and solid
 arities as self-sustaining practices and engage in broader alliances. As
  James explains\, Revolutionary Love originates from a desire for the gr
 eater good that entails radical risk-taking for justice. Creating a comm
 on struggle front from the “Left and the bottom” is an experimental prac
 tice that takes a fundamental ontological revolution and a rethinking of
  what it means to be in relation to each other. \n\nThis is a convivial 
 space of exchange where we explore what it means to be in relation to ea
 ch other and to nature\, reflecting on how we are organised and practice
  activism to find new ways of creating bonds and alliances.
