In France, the Yellow Vests have left the roundabouts, but in La Réunion, a convergence called “QG Zazalé” still stands. Located in Le Tampon, in the south of the island, it is comprised of a community of activists.
On the roundabout, they discuss ecology, housing, sovereignty, decolonization, and food autonomy. They live amidst plantations and animals, surrounded by the constant flow of cars.
Gradually, this experimentation of a new world, subversive and political, gains momentum and questions social issues and access to land
The social and political project carried out at the roundabout level is intended to inspire and be replicated in other territories, on different scales.
If you wish to promote it or draw inspiration from it, you can organize a screening in a cinema, a theater, a community center, or at someone’s home. For this, the En Quête Prod team will support you by providing a pedagogical file (available for download directly on the website). Go for it!
