Political violence seriously threatens both these pillars of a free and democratic society no matter the political affiliations or ideology of the perpetrators. Join Scot Nakagawa, Rinku Sen, Tarso Ramos, and Rachel O'Leary Carmona in conversation tomorrow on political violence.

Archivo Cubanecuir (Cuban Queer Archive) is a project that started after its founder, Librada Gonzalez, noticed that official records focused on the trauma, suffering, and the criminalization of LGBTIQ+ people in Cuba. “That was not queer history, but the history of transphobia and homophobia”. Journalist Eileen Sosin writes about Librada Gonzalez and Archivo Cubanecuir for Field Notes. https://lnkd.in/ewXPyWWb
When Fernando Araujo awoke on his wife's birthday, their first as a married couple, he had every reason to believe the day would be like any other. Araujo’s time as Minister of Development under Colombia’s Conservative President Andres Pastrana was behind him and he was about to embark on a new consulting venture. On December 4, 2000, at the dawn of a new century that slid Colombia even further into socio-economic crisis, Araujo’s naiveté came to an abrupt end. For Field Notes, Martina Castellanos writes one man’s evolution while captive for six years. https://lnkd.in/ek8TDVmS
