Episode 27: Spotlight: Feminist Movement Builders School with Auma Maureen

Spotlight on Feminist Movement Building School

We are in conversation with participants from our second Feminist Movement Builders School convened in partnership with Just Associates in from August 2024-August 2025.

About the episode

🎙️ Content note: this episode discusses LGBTQ+ rights and community organising in contexts of risk.

In this episode, Nadia Asri speaks with Auma Maureen, a feminist organiser and artist, whose community-based project uses public art to archive queer life and resistance in rural Uganda.

Through the Feminist Movement Builders School, Maureen led a year-long feminist action research process that culminated in a powerful community mural — a living, collective archive of queer stories, painted in dialogue with the people who inspired it.

This conversation explores the power of art, storytelling, and imagination in contexts where visibility can be dangerous — and how creative practices become acts of care, resistance, and community-building.

👉🏿 Explore Maureen’s mural, created as part of the Movement Builders School in Kenya, on our website.
