Sunday, June 9,  2024, Radical Sunday School: Student Movements, Then and Now. From Maagdenhuis to Binnengasthuisterrein. From 17:30 till 20:00.

They say “revolutions happen before the revolutionaries know what’s going on”, and in both the cases of the Maagdenhuis occupation (2015) and the Binnengasthuisterrein barricades (2024), organizers were take by surprise when masses of students occupied university buildings. Reflecting on the almost 10 years that have passed, we should wonder: what can these occupations tell us about revolutionary organizing, sustaining movements, and radicalizing new people (especially those outside the bubble)?

Indian elections – holding space for reflections

By: börek - June 4th, 2024  Filed under: Meeting

Tuesday, June 4, 2024, Indian elections – holding space for reflections, from 17:00 to 19:00

Results of national parliamentary elections are being announced in India today. This is a crucial election for Indian “democracy” as democratic institutions stand heavily eroded, and the right-wing fascist party threatens to wipe out all space for opposition – political, social and ideological. On one hand, mainstream international and Indian media have been shamelessly announcing the win of the hate-mongerer and Hindu nationalist leader, and celebrating the boost this will give to financial markets. On the other hand, India’s civil society has worked tirelessly to expose the violence being inflicted on marginalised communities, the neo-colonial state policies looting India’s people, and tilt political discourse away from religious divide toward celebrating the many syncretic cultures of the region.

As the counting of votes ensues, other indias will hold space for the community to convene, pay respect to the work done by grassroots and diasporic groups, and reflect on the work still to be done to build progressive politics in India.

Monday 3 June 2024, Voku for De Drie Duyfjes. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Gravenstraat 26-28 had been rotting away for a decade. There was a first attempt to squat the houses on September 12, 2021, during the Woonprotest. 61 people were arrested and police brutality followed this squatting action.
On April 27, 2024, on Housing Day (Woningsdag), Gravenstraat 26-28 is successfully squatted. Within a few days, the front gets some fresh paint and the house is named De Drie Duyfjes. Life is back in the house. Come support your local squatters!

Are you sick of having your personality traits be labeled symptoms?
Do you think normal reactions to abmnormal situations are NOT “disorders”?
How would so called “mental illnesses” look without the societal stigma around them?
Do you think it’s the system that’s sick, not you?
Well then come to discuss this (and more!) […Lees verder]

Cinema Italia: Lamerica (Gianni Amelio, 1994)

By: börek - May 25th, 2024  Filed under: Filmavond

Sunday 26 May 2024, While There’s War There’s Hope [FINCHE’ C’E’ GUERRA C’E’ SPERANZA] (1974) directed by Alberto Sordi is cancelled for technical problems. Apologies for the inconvenience. We will watch together, instead:

LAMERICA [THEAMERICA] (1994) * Directed by Gianni Amelio * 116 min * In Italian with English subtitles * doors open at 20:00, film starts at 20:30. After the film, please engage in sharing comments, ideas, and inspiration with the host(s) of the evening.

In 1991 a ship with 10-20 thousand Albanians came to Bari. They were escaping extreme poverty and a chaotic situation in their country, after the fall of the dictatorship. This film draws from that episode, and tells the story of two different generations of Italians in Albania through the eyes of the two protagonists, whose identities between the two countries make us think about what it means to belong to a nationality in general and how fragile is our social status when society around us suddenly collapses. The film also invites us to ask ourselves about the effects of migration in a foreign country which is more a dream than a reality.

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
