With Amparo Bravo Arias (Cooperativa Desbordada) (in German)

Amparo Bravo Arias approached the festival theme of post-growth/degrowth from a feminist perspective in her talk, highlighting new and important aspects. Her shared expertise in feminist economics and social policy enabled the audience to think beyond traditional growth paradigms and to include the importance of care work and social reproduction for the maintenance of communities.

By focusing on the dependency of economic relations between central and peripheral countries, Bravo Arias underscores the need for nuanced approaches to degrowth that take global inequalities into account.
