What if the monopoly of birth didn’t dictate what access we had to rights, safety, healthcare and our quality of life?

Director of the Decolonial Centre, Mohammed Elnaiem, invites us on an exploration of a world with one nation. Mohammed offers a powerful case for border abolition, charting the potential of a world where arbitrary lines on the map, competition, and othering are dismantled. Alongside this, Mohammed explains the history of a world before colonialism and formalised lines of division and encourages us to expand our imagination and consciousness around what could be possible when we lean into collectivity, openness and a sense of shared unity.

Have you ever imagined a world with no landlords? No price hikes, mould, evictions and unlivable conditions?
