Compost the Empire is a space where decolonial visions and stories are nurtured from the compost of a dying empire. It is a home for practices, reflections, and ways of imagining that move beyond the constraints of modernity, not by bypassing what has been done to us, but by naming it fully. Here, we acknowledge the trauma, grief, abuse, and violence forced upon us without consent, and alchemize ancestral rage and sorrow into living soil, grafting what has worked in the past with creative explorations of futures we have yet to imagine. This is a space to grieve a collapsing world so that we may become mature enough to grow beyond it.
