On the eve of a co-opted and depoliticized International Women's Day, we gathered to discuss how the tokenization of marginalized identities jeopardizes and silences struggles for collective liberation and endangers the community it claims to serve.

[Oliur Sun @OliurSun]

Tokenization refers to the practice of superficially including members of marginalized groups in spaces or activities as a way to showcase diversity and equity, without actually dismantling structures of oppression and giving them real power or agency.

Moments after we started the screening, I received the appalling news of writer, poet and activist, Sadaat's suicide. Although time was adverse, we nonetheless pulled off the first-ever screening of José in Bangladesh
