Mostrando lo que es posible: Consumidores de drogas se apoyan mutuamente

Basándose en experiencias de apoyo mutuo, este diálogo de amplia envergadura considerará qué tipos de cambio sistémico son posibles cuando priorizamos a las personas que se apoyan mutuamente. Más información, en inglés, está disponible abajo.

In 2020, Peter Krykant established the first grassroots mobile safer consumption site, reliant almost entirely on volunteer labour and providing as safe a venue as possible for Glasgow’s most precarised drug users. Aura Roig is the Director of Metzineres, a community hub founded in 2017 as the first integrated harm reduction programme by and for women and non-binary people who use drugs in Catalonia.

Drawing on these experiences, this wide-reaching conversation with Juan Fernández Ochoa will look at mutual aid practices based on the lived and living experiences of people who use drugs. Challenging the idea that all we can do to respond to structural violence and neglect is ask the state for services, this conversation will instead contemplate what kinds of [systemic] change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other.
