ONCE IN A BLUE MOON ACADEMIA (OBMA)

OBMA as an activist platform confronts two intertwined crises: the collapse of the financial system and the degradation of the natural ecosystem. We expose, analyze, and resist the structures driving both, building a clear, critical, and accountable counter-narrative for our times. We affirm that the protection of human and animal rights, the defence of the planet, and the dismantling of exploitative economic architectures form a single and inseparable struggle.
Our work lies at the intersection of Human Rights, Environmental Justice, Critical Social Sciences, and Philosophy of Science. We research and publicly disseminate knowledge on human and ecological violations, with particular attention to the corporate–state nexus, financial and extractive power, debt-driven dependence, and the criminalization of dissent.
Through research, publications, workshops, artistic expression, and multimedia archives, OBMA makes complex knowledge accessible while creating spaces for critical inquiry, democratic participation, and non-violent collective action.
We build a transdisciplinary community across sociology, economics, ecology, law, philosophy, science, and lived struggles—defending scientific temper while resisting technocratic authoritarianism and the subordination of knowledge to market logic.
Our global solidarities extend to movements, academics, workers, farmers, students, indigenous communities, and all frontline defenders of rights and ecosystems. We hold that knowledge cannot be neutral when injustice is institutionalized, and we embrace critical, ethical scholarship that stands with the vulnerable and challenges systems that normalize exploitation — financial, ecological, political, and epistemic. The overarching purpose of OBMA is to restore the primacy of life over capital, community over extraction, environment over profit, and dignity over domination — shaping a just, sustainable, and plural planetary future.
