“Truth is not distilled from a single voice that legitimizes dominant power. It emerges from plural testimonies. Without acting simultaneously at the epistemic, institutional, and political levels, decolonization remains unfinished.” Esra Albayrak, Opening Remarks at #WDF2026

Two days. Dozens of voices. From decolonizing media to Palestine, from economic sovereignty to algorithmic domination, from Islamic law to public health, from colonial archives to the university as border regime and finally, to sport as a site of struggle. #WDF2026
