ECOPOLIS FAIR(ER) FUTURES FESTIVAL BRUSSELS
05.12.26
all day, De Markten
On 5 December, ECOPOLIS, the Fair(er) Futures Festival, will once again bring together thinkers and doers, writers and activists from various countries in Brussels. A day full of inspiring conversations and hopeful new perspectives.
Because the future is certainly not shaping up to be a peaceful one. Climate disruption, growing inequality and a world that is becoming increasingly harsh: how do we build a society that actually works for everyone? And what do we need to imagine and shape that future?
We’re asking big questions, such as the one posed by Anna Tsing: what is the art of living on a damaged planet? Questions that are brought to the fore by extreme heat and wildfires, and which are also a matter of justice. Because those who contribute the least to ecological disruption are hit the hardest. Nepal is a case in point.
That is why ECOPOLIS remains the place to push boundaries. Because change begins with what we can imagine — and with the courage to make it happen together.
Come and join us in thinking. In imagining. In finding the courage.
Fair(er) Futures Book Club: Cannibal Capitalism (Nancy Fraser) (EN)

Capital is currently cannibalizing every sphere of life-guzzling wealth from nature and racialized populations, sucking up our ability to care for each other, and gutting the practice of politics.
In this tightly argued and urgent volume, leading Marxist feminist theorist Nancy Fraser charts the voracious appetite of capital, tracking it from crisis point to crisis point, from ecological devastation to the collapse of democracy, from racial violence to the devaluing of care work.
What we need, she argues, is a wide-ranging socialist movement that can recognize the rapaciousness of capital – and starve it to death.
