Our planet of cities is trapped in an economic-ecological vicious circle. To break out, we must expand critical reappraisals of the histories and continuities of colonial-capitalist urbanization and connect urban and environmental struggles across borders. This 100-page publication is an elaboration of the festival themes and an extended introduction to the “Kin City” text series that will be published in BG throughout 2024. It includes artwork by the Colnate Group and is available as an open access book in English, German, and Bosnian-Serbo-Croatian. You can order a print copy for 10 Euros plus shipping at office[at]kuda[dot]org.
