Şeyda Kurt in conversation with Selina Shirin Stritzel

About radical tenderness, forms of solidarity and identity politics

Talk

Based on the piece JUSTITIA! Identity Cases, Şeyda Kurt and Selina Shirin Stritzel talk about how solidarity can look like and be lived within the currently fiercely disputed identity debates – whether these identity politics are also part of our love relationships and how we can break up the existing relationship models with radical tenderness.
