Acts of Resistance IV, Meleko Mokgosi

“I would define resistance as any instance where a subject rejects and refuses to give in to the oppression of her spirit. Where formal resistance takes aim at the state and institutional forces, informal resistance encompasses everyday acts, both unconscious and conscious.” —Meleko Mokgosi Activism takes many forms, such as displaying a Black Madonna and child or protesting in the streets. Today, young people are finding new ways to resist. Is this child playing on their phone or engaging in online activism? Both are acts of resistance. Rest and connection with others can be powerful ways to recharge and resist the status quo.
