Description
This poster was created by Lea Ebeling for shado’s Protect the Protest project. In the project, shado worked with artists across Europe to explore how our rights across the continent are being infringed upon, and therefore our struggles – and ensuing movements for liberation – are interlinked.

I am a social anthropologist, illustrator, mural and comic artist. The artwork is part of a larger ethnograohic research project, in which I collected and drew decolonial and anti-capitalist future imaginaries with different activists in Berlin and beyond.
For this artwork, I spoke with two activists from the Sudan Uprising movement who told me about their struggle but also discussed with me how they would want their country to change once the war was over. The imaginary evokes Kandake (title of ancient Nubian warrior queens) as a symbol of traditional as well as new societal and political values that are just, socialist, non-exclusionary, non-patriarchal and non-Western.
In 2019, the young activist Alaa Salah spoke and sang to her fellows from the roof of a car. She was seen as the embodiment of the idea of Kandake and her image went viral. In this drawing she is surrounded by the people’s hands, as it happened in reality, exclaiming the slogan of the revolution. ‘No deal with the military, no negotiation, no compromise.’ The flower petals showing scenes of what the interviewees imagined are inspired by the principles of permaculture. They refer to ‘Living in Harmony with Land and Nature’, ‘Housing for Everybody’, ‘Commonly Owned Technologies and Resources’, ‘Education and Cultural Access for Everybody’, ‘Public Health And Joined Care Work’, ‘Pan-African Circular Economy and Finances’, ‘Politics Inspired by Tribal Values Creating Justice and Equality’, respectively.
