The scholar Sara Ahmed reflects on what it means to give \"a feminist ear\" to complaint, marking the publication of her new book No is Not a Lonely Utterance: The Art and Activism of Complaining (2025). Coinciding with Autumn Knight's exhibition I Can't Complain, she considers how complaint can bring people together, enabling new solidarities and alliances in the struggle for change.
