Pluriverse of Peace: : Svitlana Matviyenko

In the war that Russia is waging in Ukraine with the aim of wearing down its opponent, the destruction of the infrastructure of human and more-than-human life – in short, the environment– plays an important role. As Svitlana Matviyenko argued in her talk at the “Pluriverse of Peace” conference, it is not only destruction but also reconstruction in occupied territories that is an expression of the aggressor’s necropolitics. The talk was created for and presented at the “Pluriverse of Peace” conference on Thursday, October 16 at the ICI Berlin. It is based on Svitlana Matviyenko’s contribution to the “Pluriverse of Peace” text series. More info: https://berlinergazette.de/projects/pluriverse-of-peace
