A Land Moot 2025
Clyde Community Hall
Glasgow United Kingdom
| Sales have ended for this event. |

Last year, a group of us gathered in Ibrox to explore the intersections of social injustice and land inequality.
This year, in the face of emboldened fascism, dispossession, and colonial violence in Scotland and globally, we hold space again for building, resisting, strategising, and embodying our relationships to land.
This is an invitation to moot - to vitalise our assembly, to move from talking towards action. There will be talks, but also workshops, songs, rituals, skills-sharing, creative practices and a ceilidh.
This year, A Land Moot is being co-organised and programmed by a number of working groups: practical commoning, collective economies, land back, food, media, resisting green capitalism and political education. Each group is making space for exploring histories, presents and futures of justice issues converging around land.
This event is part of a long-term struggle towards dismantling concentrated power and ownership and decolonising our relationships to land. We hope to create a space for this movement to take root.

We have a small amount of funding available to subsidise travel costs for those who need it. If you require support with covering travel, please email scottishhistoriesofresistance@gmail.com with information on where you are travelling from, and how much it will cost.
