By: börek - March 5th, 2023  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Thursday 9 March 2023, Samidoun Benefit, Volkseten Vegazulu. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

We are Samidoun; the Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, an international network of organizers and activists working to build solidarity with Palestinian prisoners in their struggle for freedom.
Our main focus in The Netherlands is to spread awareness about the thousands of Palestinian political prisoners who are being held captive by the settler colonial state known as Israel.
Besides this, we are also firm supporters of the complete liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea.
We plan solidarity stands, demonstrations, and events in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. On the 9th of March, we will cook at the Volkskeuken in Joe’s Garage.
All the proceeds will go into purchasing flags, printing flyers and other basic materials needed for demonstrations and solidarity stands.
So please come grab a delicious Palestinian vegan dinner and have a chat with us about the Palestinian cause!
We look forward to meeting you!

By: börek - March 5th, 2023  Filed under: Benefiet, Muziek, Volkseten/Voku

Monday 6 March 2023 , ROSA benefit voku, Volkseten Vegazulu. Food served from 7pm, no reservation. Music from 9pm.

We are part of ROSA (Radical Organisation of Students in Amsterdam), a radical leftist student organization at UvA, and we are launching a week of action for international women’s day. We are setting up a donation drive for menstrual products and funds, with all proceeds going to ASKV. ASKV is an organization that provides legal assistance and social support to rejected refugees in the Netherlands. Undocumented refugees are often caught in an impossible position: being unable to return to their country of origin while lacking access to social security, education, and employment in the Netherlands. Undocumented refugees often end up on the margins of society, vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. The funds we collect with our benefit dinner will go directly to menstrual products.

After the food, around 9pm, music on the stage with Lasha, the lonely horseboy. Another visit of Lasha at Joe’s Garage, with his guitar, before heading back to Greece and Giorgia.

Cinema Italia: The Seduction of Mimi (Lina Wertmüller, 1972)

By: börek - March 3rd, 2023  Filed under: Filmavond

Sunday 5th March 2023, The Seduction of Mimi [Mimì metallurgico ferito nell’onore] * Directed by Lina Wertmüller * 125 min * In Italian with English subtitles * doors open at 20:00, film starts at 20:30. After the film, please engage and share comments, ideas, and inspiration with the host(s) of the evening!

Mimì (Giancarlo Giannini) is a man raised in Sicily, where you have to compromise with the mafia to have a job. Far from being a classic hero, he expresses almost hyper-realistically the prototype of toxic masculinity from the South. He moves to Turin so to stay loyal to his principles, vaguely revolutionary.
Fiore (Mariangela Melato) is a working class woman from Milan who is hoping to find her way in life. The meeting-contrast between the two comrades is iconically depicting the differences between North and South, the contradictions of the Left, the role of the Partito Comunista Italiano. In the background, an Italy under siege of violence by terrorism in the streets of industrial and university cities like Milan or Turin.
Lina Wertmüller was the first female director to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director ever. Her gentle touch, expressed by the colours and music of the soundtrack, results in a unique dreamy palette that became her cinematic signature.
This film screens as the female protagonist a fascinating Mariangela Melato, who passed ten years ago. She incarnated a new model of Italian female beauty, in contrast with Sofia Loren and Gina Lollobrigida. Fiore is one of her most famous interpretation.

Film night at Joe’s Garage, cozy cinema! Free entrance. You want to screen a movie, let us know: joe [at] lists [dot] squat [dot] net
