Talking about Colonialism in the Glue Garden
Abstract
In this chapter the GLUE Collective artists invited some additional members of their community to come and discuss the connection between art and activism. The author joined them at their garden in Birmingham where we were invited to respond to prompts from Vanessa Machado de Olivera’s book Hospicing Modernity: Facing Humanities Wrongs and the Implication for Social Activism. The parallel processes of making things and making a more equitable future for all children is at the center of our discussion.
