Environmental stressors, such as air and noise pollution or lack of green space, disproportionately affect marginalized communities and worsen mental and physical health outcomes. These stressors do not exist in isolation. They are products of systemic inequalities embedded in capitalist social relations. Drawing on research in Berlin’s inner-city neighborhoods, Debora Darabi’s “Kin City” video talk discusses how poverty, environmental injustice, and public health crises intersect, challenging us to rethink the social structures that shape these phenomena.
Debora Darabi’s video talk is based on the following article: https://berlinergazette.de/capitalism-climate-and-class-understanding-the-social-roots-of-urban-environmental-injustice/
The video talk was recorded at the “Kin City” festival, October 17-19, 2024 at the ZK/U – Center for Arts and Urbanistics.
