Whiteness has a hidden face that few dare to name. In this impactful talk, Thales Vieira, co-founder of the Whiteness Observatory, draws on the teachings of the wise quilombola elder Nego Bispo to reveal how cosmophobia — the fear of the cosmos and of diversity — fuels both racism and environmental destruction.An urgent reflection that connects the anti-racist struggle to the ecological crisis, showing that there can be no healthy planet as long as modern-day slave quarters exist.
