Inside the framework of

The Red de Estrategias Antirrumores de la Región de Madrid (The Network of Anti-Rumour Strategies in the Madrid Region, RAMA), founded in 2019, is made up of public and private entities working jointly to share knowledge and experiences that allow alternative narratives to racist and xenophobic speech to be created.

Driving forward anti-rumour strategies in an array of contexts and territories in the Madrid region, RAMA’s work centres on memory, activism and imaginaries to open dialogue around possible scenarios and strategies that destabilise supports of racism.

What do we understand by racism and in what ways does it affect racialised people? What role does racism play in the multiple forms of oppression that cross through certain bodies in relation to gender, race, class, administrative status, and so on? Are we responding to racism? How do we build and maintain anti-racism? What is the role of the migrant political subject and young people in the anti-racist struggle? Where do we situate the demands, proposals and collective agendas that arise from migrant and anti-racist communities?

This edition of Situated Voices, convened from RAMA and in collaboration with Museo Situado, seeks to reflect through young migrant and anti-racist activists to collectively imagine multi-faceted, creative, political and disobedient processes allowing anti-racism to be incorporated into the heart of struggles and thereupon to examine this intersection with other issues around education, participation in the political community, heteromormativity, climate justice, etc.
