Wellbeing and care, a view from India

A conversation between Neha Saigal and Gisela Ruiseco on the relationship between collective wellbeing and care, reimagining wellbeing from a decolonial feminine perspective, and reclaiming commons and collective spaces where joy and survival are entwined.

Whether it is a water body, a community hall, or simply a street where people can gather without harassment, these spaces embody the idea that wellbeing is not private property.

Movements across the Global South have always understood this whether women gather at village wells to organize, or young people reclaim streets through music and protest."
