The Laboratory for anti-imperial solidarity departs from historical events, like the Vlachian uprising in 1935 as well as present environmental struggles in EU peripheries in the context of the EU Critical Raw Materials Act. It entangles with processes that the Global Majority shares and creates a space for collective analysis and action using intersection of postsocialist and postcolonial perspectives. It raises questions about the similar historical precarious experiences between the Global Majority and EU’s peripheries as a starting point for building a platform for envisioning a global society free of colonial-imperial structures and one of mutual solidarity. It also seeks answers to what is needed to understand past struggles in order to support and strengthen international awakening across geographies. It uses artistic methods like exhibitions, discussions, film screenings and activist methods in order to explore different forms of resistance shaped by anti-colonial values and inspired by the ideas of the Non-Aligned Movement. 

Conceived as a platform for empowerment, it highlights the neocolonial challenges faced by citizens and activists, especially in the peripheries of the EU, with a focus on anti-extractivist, environmental and resource-related issues, as well as mining struggles. It serves as a meeting point for environmental activists, artists, and engaged (non)citizens to share their struggles and explore new, radical ways to participate, influence policy, and support society through collective learning.
