Changemakers recommended by Coralie Custos Quatreville

• Heman Bekele, Annandale, United States
  Coming up with the beginnings of a simple, accessible solution to prevent a global problem. What a gem!
• Etienne Jarrier, Paris, France
  Finding new ways to resist. Music emerged as one of them.
• Malcom Ferdinand, Fort-de-France, Martinique
  Making visible the scandal of the pesticide chlordécone: what its past use tells us, what its present-day effects reveal, and what it means for future generations.
• Susan Neiman, Potsdam, Germany
  How can we grow older without betraying ourselves or our ideals? Susan Neiman embarks on a reflection on what it truly means to become an adult.
• Simone Schwarz-Bart, Goyave, Guadeloupe
  To bring such a small part of the world to the fore, knowing that it holds so many of the answers to the challenges of our time.
• Nikole Hannah-Jones, New York, United States
  Investigating, researching, and ultimately repositioning a date within the broader sweep of history can, in some cases, unsettle an entire chapter of a national narrative.
• Léna Blou, Pointe-à-Pitre, France
  Léna Blou invites us to reflect on the colonial legacy and on how the body can become a space of emancipation, capable of transforming both an individual and an entire society.
• Adama Diop, Dakar, Senegal
  Who migrates, and how do we encounter otherness? Adama Diop opens up unexpected pathways.
• Angela Davis, Oakland, United States
  Angela Davis is undoubtedly one of the most clear-sighted pacifists of the 21st c. And, without a doubt, when it comes to the notion of incarceration, she is a figure we cannot afford to overlook.
• Germaine Acogny, Toubab Dialaw, Senegal
  Because gesture and movement are, above all, a constant rethinking of openness.
• Wild Wild Women, Mumbai, India
  Despite pressure from those around them, the five rappers use their music to denounce the social injustices tied to their gender.
• Édouard Louis, Paris, France
  Constantly proving that telling intimate stories, bringing the ordinary to the fore, is an immensely political act.
• Françoise Vergès, Saint-Denis, La Réunion
  Who cleans the world, and who keeps it running? Françoise Vergès reflects on the politics of maintenance and the invisible labor performed by women.
• Milo Rau, Vienna, Austria
  This is the first time, thanks to him, that I’ve thought about the immediate possibility of art. Not in 20 years, not in 10 years, but right now, in order to repair the living world.
