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 activism, 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, rather than a concrete (static) utopia.
