For aequa Radio episode #50, aired August 19th on Refuge Worldwide , I got to interview one of my heroes, also a dear friend and major influence on my life and creative practices — Nono Gigsta

Nono, “half human, half crocodile,” is also a dancer, researcher, campaigner, grounded traveler, people-gatherer, radio host, zine-maker, meditator, artist, dj, lover of beauty, maker of music and sounds, barker-of-bad-jokes-into-the-party-microphone, and beloved pal with whom I have had the extreme honor of falling in friend-love while we shared a home city of Berlin. On a recent trip to visit them in their new home of Marseille — a multiplicitous city in the south of France that hugs the Mediterranean Sea — we had a conversation about the threads that weave together their tapestry of creative/life practices.

In the interview recorded from the intimacy of Nono’s living room floor, we talk about their work across radio, music, archive/research, event organizing and mobility justice (all for lack of more expansive or inclusive terms). She also generously shared some music for the show, all of which is linked in the tracklist below, so you can support the artists.

Thank you Nono for taking the time to share all of this with us, especially ahead of leaving for your big grounded trip from France to Australia, which began last Friday.

You can follow their journeying and learn so much by subscribing to their newsletter: fictions and reflections dot com.

How can those of us standing against authoritarianism in all its forms stick together against the systems that harm us all, even when we hurt each other? Especially in times of great repression, our movement’s resources, bodies and tempers tend to be stretched paper-thin. This often means that we not only end up harming each other more than we might in less repressive times, but also that our reactions to those harms might jump the quickest and often the most severe consequence, rather than the strategic or right-sized response.

On the long-term scale of organizing, if we are fighting for other worlds and ways of being in relation with other people and planet that we think are possible, how might we also practice these worlds already within the contexts in which we are organizing?

I’ll be passing through Brussels in a couple of weeks, and I’m delighted to say that I’ll be offering a conversation-based workshop on these topics at the delightful-seeming

⏰ Thursday, 23. July, 18:30-21:30
📍 One Field Fallow (OFF), Onderrichtsstraat 60, 1000 Brussels
🎟️ Registration required (link in bio), pay what you can

In this workshop we’ll explore definitions of harm and its consequences in the context of movement and cultural organizing, as well as protocols and tactics for tending to harm when it happens in ways that strive not center care, rather than reproduce the very violences we are fighting against.

📻 Bonus: Also looking forward to hosting a special episode radio with my .radio debut while in town, hoping to chat with some local collectives about how these topics touch their contexts. Tune in or swing by 21. July 12:00-13:00!

If you’re based in Brussels, please share 🙏🏻

On aequa Radio episode #48, we explore SOLARPUNK: movement, aesthetic, imagination-juicer for a future beyond modernity’s grasps.

“As a lifelong ravenous reader of various streams of dystopian fiction, the discovery of speculative fictions such as solarpunk shifted something inside me. This imaginative genre asks: What if, instead of just imagining what it will be like to survive within collapse, we could imagine a future beyond it? One in which the myth of separability from the land and each other feels as silly as the myths of Greek god/dess dramas feel today? One in which reciprocity, accountability and the honorable harvest are central to how we live? One in which everybody has enough — food, shelter, safety, belonging — without the need to exploit the planet or each other? To quote , what might it look like to ‘re-indigenize’ rather than simply decolonize our ways of being in and with the world?

If, as Tony Cade Bambara writes, ‘the role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible,’ then what role might solarpunk and related art and cultural movements have to play in drawing people into the myriad revolutions needed to shed our current ontologies and move towards something regenerative?”

Including snippets from work by and Keisha Howard.

“What if you knew—in your bones, not just in your mind—that major social and ecological collapse is on the horizon? That sooner or later much of what we take for granted will no longer be viable, primarily because we have crossed at least six of the nine planetary boundaries currently identified? How would you respond if you could stay with this knowledge?”

Welp, that’s exactly what host and guest xin got into in the 46th episode of aequa Radio, recorded live March 18th in the studio. Over the course of the two-hour show, we managed to squeeze in processing our ❤️‍🔥 heartblowing ❤️‍🔥 encounter with the book Hospicing Modernity, by Vanessa Machado de Oliveira, and its sequel, Outgrowing Modernity, quoted above. (Both published by )

📻 A few surfaces we scratch in this too-short-to-do-these-books-justice episode:
‣ what is meant by the framing modernity-coloniality?
‣ what are the roots of this ontology? what myth is this way of being is based on?
‣ the alienation that can come with facing these bone-knowings about collapse
‣ xin’s take on “hospicing dance music” as expressed in part through their 2025 album, WASTED, on .files
‣ embracing complexity and dissensus, expanding our ways of being/knowing/learning
‣ embracing being “cute and pathetic”
‣ composting our s**t 💩
and more 😉

“The future of political freedom is on trial in North Texas.”

For Radio episode #47, we heard from Elisabet Westby, one of the many organizers supporting the Prairieland Defendants — a group of people arrested and unjustly tried as terrorists in North Texas for having organized a standard-issue noise demonstration against ICE, outside the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas last July. Head to to find the link to their support campaign.

Since their arrests last July — some were not even at the demo — all but one of the defendants have been “held on multi-million dollar bails and enduring horrific conditions. The accusations of the government are absurd, and the police response has been extreme, making it obvious that this is part of an effort to criminalize dissent along with the other high profile cases in Spokane, Portland, and Illinois. It has repeatedly been used by the Trump administration and its allies as an example of violence by ‘antifa’.” (quoting their website)

In a federal trial held in my hometown of Fort Worth, Texas in March, 8 defendants were found guilty of counts including riot, providing material support to t3rr0r1sts, use of explosives and more.

Thank you to Elisabet for taking the time to share about the defendants and their experiences, abuses of power by the trial judge, propaganda being sowed by the state, and why the fate of the Prairieland Defendants should concern anyone wanting to raise their voices or push back against the current administration of the so-called U.S.

Of course we can draw direct tactical parallels to the treatment of political prisoners whose trial began last week here in Germany — im their case being denied basic rights and fair treatment for daring to resist genocide.

Wherever you are, if you are not on the front lines of resisting these murderous regimes, please do what you can to support those who are there and their families and loved ones. If you can’t donate, letters are a great way to support, and both groups have instructions for how to write the defendants letters of support on their websites.
