DecenterMag on Clubhouse

Description

In the midst of heteronormative Brahmanical patriarchy, ceaseless violence of the carceral capitalist state, persistence of caste-supremacy and sexual violence, could dissenting voices come together to produce a parallel collaborative radically intersectional expressive space?

DeCenter is a platform for counter-hegemonic perspectives rarely represented, fiercely silenced, and frequently tone-policed in mainstream media. We are focused on critiques from the “margins” produced by Dalit, Bahujan, Adivasi, Muslim, Queer, and Disabled writers, poets, photographers, journalists, critics, activists, and academics.

81.25 % of our team is made up of Dalits, Bahujans, Adivasis, Muslims and Minorities (a total of 13 editors). 81.25% of our team comprises editors who identify as women. Roughly 38% of our team is represented by Dalit activists, journalists, legal scholars, and academics. 18.7% of our team is made up of women who come from intercaste (savarna-Bahujan) and savarna backgrounds (a total of 3 editors). On our team, we have editors from South, East, West, and North India. Kashmir and the Northeast are represented on our geographically-linguistically diverse team.

We are interested in political, artistic, literary, and everyday assertions of resistance that challenge the narrative center, i.e., the dominant perspective of the cis-heteropatriachal savarna upper-class man. Come join our discussions on clubhouse to get to know us and work and to talk with our editors, readers, and writers about a wide range of topics.

Please note: Our team of editors is pretty diverse. While we all agree on the politics of intersectionality that we stand behind, here on Clubhouse, each editor may speak from their own personal positions without claiming to represent the larger group of editors at Decenter!
