On Thursday 24th there will be a benefiet voku for the Reclaim the Seeds event. Sunday after, 27th at 8pm there will be an infonight on this topic with film.

During the infonight we will give you more details on the seed exchange and info fair coming spring and how to get involved. We will show the film “A personal story on Seed Saving, made by Bart Van Baardwijk in Pun Pun, an organic farm and seed saving center of selfreliance in Thailand. Afterwards we will talk about the recent developments in the Dutch and international seed market which have lead to monopolisation of seeds and  the decline of bio- and seeddiversity.  European legislation forces farmers to give up their independency  while  on the same time patents are given  to common fruit and vegetable varieties. What does this mean for food sovereignity? And what means food sovereignity to us? […Lees verder]

Update: Laatste arrestant ontruimingsgolf inmiddels vrijgelaten (14nov), rechtzaak uitgesteld.

De eerder aangekondigde rechtzaak op 16 november van de laatste arrestant van de recente ontruimingsgolf in Amsterdam is afgelast. Het Openbaar Ministerie heeft de dagvaarding ingetrokken, dit betekende echter niet zijn vrijheid. Wanneer een nieuwe zitting zal plaatsvinden is vooralsnog onbekend. Het lijkt er op dat ze hem langer willen vasthouden. Maandag 14 november 2011 kwam hij voor de raadkamer. Dit leidde uiteindelijk tot een schorsing. […Lees verder]

Benefiet Voices of Women Media (VOW Media)

VOWDonderdag 20 oktober 2011: VOW Media Benefit – Voku, plus info and short-films “A Day In Her Life”. From 19pm, no reservation, donations welcome.

“Voices of Women Media (VOW Media) [http://voicesofwomenmedia.org/] is an emerging organization that aims to provide a way for marginalized communities of women to educate and express themselves through different forms of media. During this fundraiser, we will hold a screening of our past project, “A Day in Her Life.” During the project, we worked with women who have been trafficked and with current and former sex workers.
On one level, we train women who are marginalised in the Netherlands to tell their stories using powerful media tools such as radio, photography, and video. We want to give them the skill and opportunity to express the complexities of their lives. But we don’t stop there. Our goal is to use media to create a more humanized and multi-faceted picture of the sex industry. We want to show this industry as a complex fabric, composed both of women workers who are entitled to demand their rights as workers and women who have been forced into the industry.
This year, we are holding two multi-media workshops for young girls with foreign background and we will also hold a master course with the sex workers from the A Day in Her Life project.”

Preview of the first video from “A Day In Her Life” Workshop 2010.

“A Day In Her Life” (Voices of Women Media, 2010, 18′)
Multimedia workshop for sex workers in Amsterdam’s Red Light District. It consists of 6 short videos – self portraits from different women who work in the windows of the Red Light. A compilation of short movies made by sex workers in the Netherlands through the Voices project. “Our goal is to use media to create a more humanised and multi-faceted picture of the sex industry. We want to show this industry as a complex fabric, composed both of women workers who are entitled to demand their rights as workers and women who have been forced into the industry. Many people looking in from the outside have quite a polarised view. Women are either victims, or they are making choices. But as in any other area of life, there are many grey zones.

Benefiet voku axiezeefdrukwerkplaats

By: börek - September 8th, 2011  Filed under: Benefiet, Events, Volkseten/Voku

Do. 8 september – Benefiet voku axiezeefdrukwerkplaats 19uur, vegan food, no reservations, donations welcome.
In de aanloop van de laatste ontruimingsgolf hebben wij de d.h.z. aktiezeefdrukwerkplaats vanuit een van de panden op de lijst moeten verhuizen. In de werkplaats werden talloze t-shirts, patches en posters gedrukt om politieke strijd, acties en benefieten te ondersteunen, en ook posters voor sociale centra en culturele evenementen, waaronder de maandagenda van Joe’s Garage.
We hebben wat opstartkosten en enkele zeefdrukbenodigdheden, zoals UV-lampen en holrakels die we in bruikleen hadden, zullen opnieuw moeten worden aangeschaft, zodat de werkplaats weer jarenlang allerlei axies kan ondersteunen.

In the days before the last eviction wave we had to move the screenprintingworkshop from one of the houses on the evictionlist. In the past years numerous t-shirts, patches and posters have been screenprinted in this workshop to support political struggles, actions and benefits, as well as posters for social centers and cultural events, including Joe’s monthly calendar.
Some of the screenprinting tools we borrowed, we have to obtain again. For the workshop to be operational again to support all kinds of actions in the years to come we need to get some UV-lights, a scoop coater and we have some start-up costs.
