Saturday, November 2nd, 2024, Palestine Cinema Days: Resistance, Why? (Christian Ghazi, 1971) and Naila and the Uprising (Julia Bacha, 2017). Doors open at 19:30, free entrance.

Join us for a screening of Palestine Cinema Days in Amsterdam. On the somber anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, observed on November 2nd, and in an effort to amplify Palestinian voices, we are screening Resistance, Why? (Christian Ghazi, 1971) and Naila and the Uprising (Julia Bacha, 2017) at 19:30 p.m. at Joe’s Garage. The screening is free of charge.

Resistance, Why? (56 mins): In 1970, with the initiative of Soraya Antonius (Fifth of June Society), Christian Ghazi and Noureddine Chatti went to meet Arab political figures, and in particular Palestinians living in Lebanon. Ghassan Kanafani, Sadiq Jalal El-Azm, Nabil Shaath, and others offer their visions of the Palestinian revolution, anchoring it in its history since the early 20th century.

Naila and the Uprising (76 minutes): Chronicling the remarkable journey of Naila Ayesh and a fierce community of women at the frontlines, whose stories weave through the most vibrant, nonviolent mobilization in Palestinian history – the First Intifada in the late 1980s.

19:30 Doors open
20:00 Introduction and Resistance, Why?
21:30 Naila and the Uprising

Grasugga solidarity kitchen: Three Dishes inspired on the horrors of Dutch migration policies

By: börek - October 25th, 2024  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Thursday November 31, 2024, Grasugga solidarity kitchen: Three Dishes inspired on the horrors of Dutch migration policies. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Benefit dinner for two refugee families* We are a new squat in Utrecht since October 5th, st. Gråsugga (Woodlouse), a little chaotic international collective of radical mischief enthusiasts. This VoKu is dedicated to two refugee families (from Burkina Faso and Somalia). We want to aid covering the health expenses after a traffic accident of one of the families. The other family is currently facing financial insecurity as immigration procedures in the Netherlands are ridiculously slow and not very helpful (fuck IND). The Netherlands is pushing increasingly hostile immigration policies systematically disabling people without documents from access to housing, education, healthcare, or labour rights. This is deliberate exploitation forcing people into situations in which they have to accept jobs far below minimum wage without (legal) security or protection. We are collectively responsible for responding to this with radical action and mutual aid alike. We hope to support these families by cooking a delicious dumpsterdived vegan dinner!! It will be halloween themed (as if the Dutch bureaucracy machine wasn’t enough of a scare), come by! […Lees verder]

So, if you’re not that much into theory (kind of like the organizer), you’re still welcome!
Important: Bring your zines and books!!
