Antifascism as a liberatory spatial practice

Antifascism as a liberatory spatial practice

How can militant antifascism be positioned beyond its simple opposition to fascism? And what does such a positioning mean spatially? In this talk I develop spatial conceptualisations of antifascist activisms including but not limited to militant street activism, working towards an understanding of antifascism as a liberatory spatial practice with an orientation and a political horizon and not a concrete (static) utopia.
