This article takes as its starting point the experiential knowledge of Syrian women telling the story of the Syrian revolution. By stitching together feminist and decolonial perspectives, we can critically rethink the revolution, which is usually displaced by war talk. This article both explores and attempts an exercise in “decolonial love” – by foregrounding women’s experiences, making room for radical stories on the margins, and carefully considering their visions – as an impulse to a different reading of the revolution. Taking decolonial love as both methodology and praxis creates an opportunity to learn about the multiple oppressions and resistances within the Syrian revolution. Centering decolonial love also allows for a more expansive analysis of the politics of which – and whose – knowledge matters. It asks us as researchers to be mindful of our starting points, the space that our knowledge takes up, and the ways in which we can and should learn from situated knowledge. This article, therefore, conveys not only the experience of Syrian women; it also presents a more complex story of the revolution by making visible its non-linearity, the messiness of being situated in spaces of (non-)violence, and the building of “circles of trust” to imagine and live different futures.
