Radical Sunday School: Anarchist Sex Ed, Radical (&) Queer Mingle

Sunday December 15, 2024, Radical Sunday School: Anarchist Sex Ed. Doors open at 17.30, we start sharp at 18.00! Radical (&) Queer Mingle (the after Sex Ed. Session) from 20:00. From the moment we entered schools and churches, we have been limited. We have been deprived of the endless possibilities of sex, gender, and relationships; forced to consider cis/hetero/mono/amatonormativity as the standard – and everything else as perversion.
In tonight’s Sex Ed session we ask ourselves: How has the dominant educational system prevented us from learning about our bodies, our relationships, and the full spectrum of gender, sex, and sexuality? What have we missed by only seeing the same old boring cis/hetero/mono/amatonormative perspectives on sexual experience? What would an anarchist approach to sex education look like? And much more…
Let’s learn about sex together!

From 20:00, Radical (&) Queer Mingle (the after Sex Ed. Session)

You survived the education — now it’s time for the after party. From theory to practice, join us for a night of radical love, queer liberation, and unabashed joy. No cops, no cops in your heads, no shame, no binary, no masters (unless consensual, of course), no cameras allowed!
What to bring: your full, authentic self, something to share, revolutionary spirit (but hold the tankies), dancing shoes — or just go barefoot for the revolution.
Music: come by with an instrument in hand for the Radical (&) Queer Open mic/jam session!
Remember, pleasure is resistance, community is power, every kiss is a riot.
We promote safe sex, come, grab and share Radical Sunday School flavored goodies!
Full accessibility info available. Care team on-site — reach out if you need.
Let’s make magic together. See you in the glow of liberation!

Radical Sunday School: Nationalism and Invented Traditions

Sunday December 8, 2024, Radical Sunday School: Nationalism and Invented Traditions. From 18:00 till 20:00.Coming just in time for the end of Sinterklaas, Radical Sunday School invites you to join us as we learn a bit about invented traditions, and the way they shape how we look at ourselves and our communities. We’ll be sitting down to chat with a scholar of nationalism about not only the silly aspects of ridiculous holidays and made-up cuisine, but also the darker connections between these nationalist projects and the recent rise of the far right in Western politics. Join us this Sunday as we learn about the stories we tell ourselves, the myth of “tradition”, and the joys of cultural diversity!

Altana Trio strive for preserving the essence of the original recordings while at the same time injecting their own musical character into the songs and experimenting with original compositions.
Altana Trio members are Kostas Patsis (bouzouki, vocals), Orestis Strymponis (bouzouki, vocals), Panos Tsamouras (guitar, vocals).

Radical Sunday School: Autonomy, Authority, Anarchism, and Abuse: What does (un)freedom feel like?

Sunday November 24, 2024, Radical Sunday School: Autonomy, Authority, Anarchism, and Abuse: What does (un)freedom feel like? From 18:00 till 20:00.What does it feel like to be controlled? Why would a person seemingly “let” someone else, or an entire group of people, make decisions for them?

In this week’s session of Radical Sunday School, we’re going to talk about a difficult topic: controlling relationships. So-called “partner abuse”, “high-control groups” (aka cults), and even totalitarian states are all examples of a dangerous kind of social control that is unfortunately common in our world. We’ll discuss some of the common signs of this kind of abuse, the psychology that seems to be behind it, and the ways that anarchist principles might help us fight against it. As we learn together about what’s been called “the killing of the self”, we’ll try to support each other with insights from diverse anarchists and antifascists, philosophers and therapists. Most importantly, we want to hear from anyone who has ever lived through an experience like this: how have you learned to get away from this kind of social control, and how can we help each other to live free?
