Squats, Social Centers and Autonomous Spaces
Saturday April 9th 2011 - 11AM
Tamiment Library
70 Washington Square South, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10012
Squatting is a key activist tactic to address the needs for housing
and space for political action. Together with occupation, this kind of
organized trespass is becoming increasingly important in our
repertoire of direct action tactics today. What is the present-day
experience of squatting as a political act? In other countries,
occupied social centers organize political activity in the cities. Is
U.S. squatting hopelessly disor...ganized? What have been the
challenges of opening new spaces? What have been the challenges and
rewards of passing on knowledge from one generation to the next?
This event is part of the Anarchist Bookfair, and a follow-up to our
"Space is the Place: Radical Centers for a Radical Movement" workshop
at the Left Forum a few weeks ago.
Discussion with:
--Ryan Acuff: Housing organizer and member of Take Back the Land
--Howard Brandstein: Homesteading organizer and Director of Sixth
Street Community Center
--Alan Moore: Co-founder of both ABC NoRio and Colab. [Live from Paris
@ La Generale, via Skype]
--Frank Morales: Episcopal priest, squatter and housing organizer
--Marta Rosario: A long time resident at Umbrella House Squat
recycler, improv performer, artist, and child advocate
Moderated by:
--Sebastian Gutierrez: Teacher in CUNY's Hunter College Film & Media
program and documents video testimonials in NYC squats with Spanish-
speaking squatters
--Amy Starecheski: Oral historian, doctoral student in Anthropology at
the CUNY Graduate Center, and former squatter

Something About Wall Street
Sunday April 10th 2011 - 2PM
Charging Bull
Broadway and Morris Street, New York, NY 10004
A group of joyous, angry, depressed and indifferent wannabe rioters is
converging on Wall Street on Sunday for a party in the street. Come,
bring whatever and have a rowdy time! There will be music, champagne,
a commingling of chaotic bodies and other assorted fun. Nothing
counterrevolutionary allowed!

Our Friendships are Constructed on the Basis of Conflict: Collectively
Produced Film & Video
13-17 April 2011
Spectacle Theater
124 South 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
Who made these movies? We did it together! This series features films
and videos by media makers around the globe who operate as
collectives, using group identities rather than assuming individual
authorship. Whether a political statement or an artistic choice,
working collectively means combining many individual visions into a
cohesive whole--egos will be crushed. You will see television sets
thrown at riot cops and artistic musings on the collaborative process
among other things.
Featuring work by Chto Delat, CineManifest, Cinetracts, Groupe
Medvedkine, Grupo Ukamau, Newsreel, Pacific Street Films, Paper Tiger
Television, Raindance, TVTV, the Workers Film and Photo League, and
more.
