Selam Tesfai

Selam Tesfai is a Milan-based researcher and educator of Eritrean descent. Her work moves at the intersection of race, gender, and class as tools for both analysis and struggle. The daughter of militants in the Eritrean People's Liberation Front, she has inherited a political practice that refuses to separate thought from action. For over ten years she has been part of Il Cantiere, a metropolitan political laboratory that builds shared struggles among students and precarious workers. She lives and practices mutual aid and intersectional politics for a dignified life at the Spazio di Mutuo Soccorso, where time and skills replace money. tesfaye.selam91@gmail.com
