Decolonisation Through Devotion to the Earth with Ebyän Zanini Chimba

Ebyän Zanini Chimba is a decolonial and ecofeminist activist, teacher, and multi-disciplinary artist. Her most recent collaborative piece, the internationally acclaimed short film “Amoriri” has reached the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people across the globe. Ebyän weaves worlds through her words and workshops that inspire, heal, and revolutionise—drawing us closer to ourselves, each other, and the Earth. She “abides by the wisdom written in rock, wood, water, and in our hearts”, reclaiming the animist roots of her Nubian-Italian ancestral heritage.

This is a beautiful, tender and insightful conversation on deeply needed topics. How can we decolonise our practices and life choices? What questions and conversations do we need to keep having, no matter how uncomfortable they may be? We talk about grounded spirituality versus spiritual materialism, embodied activism, decolonising birth and motherhood and some glimpses into the creative process behind ‘Amoriri’, with snippets of the music woven into this episode.
