Thrive Vegan World
We explore Aiyana's evolution from mainstream vegan activism to their creative projects centring anti-speciesism and collective liberation. Aiyana guides us through some of the concepts and language from her recently published book. In ‘Radical Companionship: Rejecting Pethood & Embracing Our Multispecies World’, Aiyana offers a theory and praxis of how we can develop more respectful relationships with others through an anti-speciesist lens, with particular focus on individuals he terms as 'colonised into pethood'.
