On the eve of a co-opted and depoliticized International Women's Day, we gathered to discuss how the tokenization of marginalized identities jeopardizes and silences struggles for collective liberation and endangers the community it claims to serve. #marginal #drik #tokenization

Tokenization refers to the practice of superficially including members of marginalized groups in spaces or activities as a way to showcase diversity and equity, without actually dismantling structures of oppression and giving them real power or agency. Join us on March 7!

Moments after we started the screening, I received the appalling news of writer, poet and activist, Sadaat's suicide. Although time was adverse, we nonetheless pulled off the first-ever screening of José in Bangladesh #drikstudycircle #josé #queerart #independentfilm

'The easier it becomes to produce information, the harder that information becomes to consume — and the harder we have to work to separate the spurious from the significant.'
Since you actually have time to read something that matters now that Facebook is down, allow me to suggest a quick little piece on the thinking that got us into the mess in the first place: https://t.co/6kHKskKvnY

Oh, we live in a democracy? Do you get a vote on who runs your company? Do you get a vote on what products are made? Do you get a vote on how to distribute resources? Do you get a vote on what housing is built? Do you get a vote on what movies get made?

Law-enforcement agencies, slavishly aided by d media, create & re-create spectacles of power. Narratives spouting "illegal", "immoral", "contraband" - uncritically regurgitated by d media, evade d morality of retaining power thru stuffing ballot boxes at night (2018) #PoriMoni

History is not the past. History is the past in so for as it is historicised in the present—historicised in the present because it was lived in the past. অতীতকে ইতিহাস বলা চলে না। ইতিহাস বর্তমানের একটা মাপকাঠি মাত্র। অতীত শুদ্ধ বর্তমানে আসিয়াই ইতিহাস পদবাচ্য হয়। - Lacan 1991
