Sunday 12 May 2024, Radical Sunday School: Burnt Out? Health and Illness Under Post-Fordism. From 18:00 till 20:00.
After the Second World War, the dominant mode of the organisation of economic production was Fordist, meaning that workers were employed in large factories on permanent contracts mainly performing carefully determined physical labour that did not require much creativity. However, during the 1970s, a shift occurred in this mode of production and the new era is often referred to as post-Fordist. This means that nowadays, workers are more likely to be employed on fixed-term contracts, working several part-time jobs rather than one full-time one, and performing more emotional, intellectual, or creative labour. The use of the term burnout emerged together with post-Fordism and it became a very popular buzzword. We often use it to describe any negative feelings we have that are related to work. But what does this term actually mean? How accurately does it describe our lived experiences? How can we regain control over our perspective on health, illness, and work?

Presentation and discussion on the book Casa Encantada, portrait of the struggle for housing in Belo Horizonte, Brazil
Saturday 11 May 2024, 20:00, presentation and discussion on the book Casa Encantada, portrait of the struggle for housing in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
The book “Casa Encantada (Enchanted House) – Portrait of the struggle for housing in Belo Horizonte during the pandemic” presents illustrations, photographs, and interviews with squatters from Belo Horizonte in 2022 and 2023. Two Brazilian organizers and squatters document nearly 20 abandoned houses in the center of the state of Minas Gerais that have been transformed into social and cultural spaces for people who were homeless and particularly vulnerable during the pandemic.
During the discussion, the comrades from the Kasa Invisível squat will delve into the contexts of the squatting movement and the struggle for land and living spaces in Belo Horizonte. The city is home to at least 100,000 people living in squatted buildings, houses, or territories and hosts one of the largest land conflicts in Latin America. The discussion aims to foster international connections and solidarity.

Benefit Voku for Darfur Women Action Group, Sudan, by SKRAPS Solidarity Kitchen
Monday 6 May 2024, Benefit Voku for Darfur Women Action Group, Sudan, by SKRAPS Solidarity Kitchen. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.
We are SKRAPS (Soup Kitchen for Radical Actions and Political Solidarity), a newly emerged cooking collective with the goal of transforming rescued food into tasty vegan dishes, and by that showing solidarity with national and international resistance initiatives.
On this Monday, we are cooking a wonderful three-course vegan meal from rescued ingredients in Joe’s Garage, raising money for “Darfur Women Action Group” in Sudan. “Darfur Women Action Group” is a women-led anti-atrocities nonprofit organization founded by a Darfuri genocide survivor to amplify the voices and empower the affected communities of the genocide in Darfur, both in Sudan and in the diaspora. It does this by providing genocide survivors with tools to combat violence, address massive human rights abuses in their societies, and work with others to prevent future atrocities while promoting global peace. Among other projects, they provide education for children living in camps, skills training, trauma counseling and psychosocial support for women survivors of sexual violence, as well as leadership and capacity building trainings for women.
After over a year of civil war in Sudan, the living conditions are worsening, and sexual violence is becoming more frequent. This is especially affecting indigenous people in Darfur, which have been subject to a government-led genocidal campaign since 2002. “Darfur Women Action Group” state “While the world turns a blind eye, we say no to the silent conspiracy against the Darfur genocide and decide to stand firm and make our voices even louder in demanding accountability, protection, and peace.” […Lees verder]
Cinema Italia: Lamerica (Gianni Amelio, 1994)
Sunday 28 April 2024, 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
