Threads of Resilience | Workshop | A Conversation about Sustainable Collective Organizing

Workshop by Sarj Lynch

In this conversation-based interactive workshop, we will explore together tools, strategies and frameworks for working together with steadfastness, how to distribute labor and use relay models to participate in liberation movements in sustainable ways. Sustainable meaning: embodied, strategic, historically-grounded, collapse-aware, compassionate and planning for a long fight. We want to see what comes up in conversation based on lived experiences in the room, and the facilitator is also happy to share some better practices from their own experience if the group finds that valuable. The conversation will be facilitated in English, and we can explore whisper translation options once we see the needs and offers available in the room. Please come covid-negative-tested or masked.

Registration: No registration needed, first come, first served
Start: 18:00 h
Tickets: Donation-based
Room: R3: Kleine Galerie
Language: English 

Please write sarj@aequa.cc if you have other access needs, and we will do our best to take care.

This event is part of the Threads of Resilience Festival

Given the current situation and urgency to express, we decided to co-organise a community-led and collectively curated 3-day festival “Threads of Resilience” from 14-16 December at Oyoun.Those include a press conference, bazaar, panels, film screening, talks, exhibition, workshops, concerts, healing session, theater, puppet show for children, and parties. With this festival, we want to reflect on and learn from movements of resistance, resilience, and solidarity across the world and come together for three days of ephemerality and collaborative archiving. We want to address and speak out against repression, silencing, instrumentalisation, and division. We need to continue to empower, promote, and celebrate pluralistic perspectives from, with, and intersectionally marginalised communities.Admission is based on free donation (nobody will be denied entry if they cannot donate). All proceeds will be given to organizations in support of victims of racist police violence and to organizations giving legal support to people threatened with deportation.
