Reforestation Rematriation

Refusal

To reject or deny something. Refusal can be enacted through protest, resistance, re-imagining, or remaking, and is often mobilized as a tactic for rejecting the status quo while imagining alternatives. Refusal is an emotive and embodied tactic, relying on feminist and decolonial concepts of care, collaboration, and world-building—not simply a practice of saying ‘no’ (see miinawaa // also; and; again, #callresponse).
