Radical Sunday School, Anarchism 101: Everything you’ve always wanted to know about anti-authoritarian socialism (but were too afraid to ask)

By: börek - November 17th, 2024  Filed under: Workshop

Sunday November 17, 2024, Radical Sunday School, Anarchism 101: Everything you’ve always wanted to know about anti-authoritarian socialism (but were too afraid to ask) . From 18:00 till 20:00.Anarchism comes in as many varieties as there are and have been anarchists. Yet, we do have some concepts in common, even if not all of us do use the same words. – P.S.

Have you been hearing about anarchism in the news, but you don’t know where to start? Curious about the “circle-A” or the cool red-and-black aesthetic? Maybe you’ve seen some famous names, but don’t feel like worshipping some old dead white guy? Well, lucky for you, Radical Sunday School is here to help. In this week’s session, we’ll talk with an experienced comrade about some of the basic ideas of anarchism and try to tease out what some of this “libertarian socialism” is all about. We’ll learn about things like:

– Authority and hierarchy
– Capitalism and the state
– Freedom and autonomy
– Mutual aid and free association
– Federation and decentralization

Whether you’re a seasoned revolutionary, a complete newbie, or just a little anarcho-curious, we’re happy to have you as we learn together about our favorite political practice!

Aman molli: Concert with Mosaic

By: börek - November 12th, 2024  Filed under: Workshop

Saturday November 16, 2024, Aman molli music concert with Mosaic, followed by a jam. From 20:00 to midnight. Donations welcome.

Mosaic’s band members met in Rotterdam. Rebetiko (greek urban folk music of the 1920s-50s) has been a formative factor for all three of them, both as people and musicians, and holds a very special place in their hearts. They want to create a mosaic of their musical and non-musical experiences associated with this genre, and convey the atmosphere that made them love it.
Mosaic members are Athina Anagnostou (voice), Katerina Bogiatzi (bouzouki, voice) and Athina Koumela (guitar, voice). Special guest appearance by Yvonne Melissa on violin.
The doors will open at 8pm, and music will start at 9 pm. Towards the end of the concert, there will be space to join the musicians on stage for a jam, so bring your instruments!

Aman molli experimental: Exploration of audiovisual interventions in post-rebetiko era

By: börek - November 12th, 2024  Filed under: Workshop

Friday November 15, 2024, Aman molli experimental: Exploration of audiovisual interventions in post-rebetiko era. From 20:00 to 23:30.

Tradition has a tradition in change. This is how rebetiko, a type of Greek urban folk music came about from outcasts and workers as a form of expression around 1920s.
In this open workshop we will focus on how to transform tradition by including new analog and digital elements in sound, tempo, lyrics, voice, visuals and compositional style, thus bringing tradition in underexplored territories.
Bring your instruments, your ideas, and come to the session with an open mind!

Radical Sunday School: Corruption 101, why you should have friends

By: börek - November 8th, 2024  Filed under: Workshop

Sunday November 10, 2024, Radical Sunday School: Corruption 101, why you should have friends. From 18:00 till 20:00.Growing up in Hungary during the 2010s, I frequently heard it from many liberal adults and newspapers, that one of the most important problems of our country is the rampant corruption by our conservative government. The argument was the following: if only our political elite wouldn’t steal our or the EU’s taxpayers’ money, the standard of living would increase drastically. There was also often a flipside to that, namely that one of the main reasons why Western European countries have such a high standard of living is because their politicians don’t steal their taxpayers’ money, and their citizens always follow the rules, and do not try to find loopholes, unlike us, Hungarians. Even in these few statements, there’s a lot to unpack.
However, during the past two years that I spent in the Netherlands, I have never heard anyone talk about corruption in any context. This made me wonder: is there really no conversation about corruption here?
