SUMMARY:Creative Anarchy: an event series exploring connections between anarchist thought\, organising\, and creative practice  
DESCRIPTION:Creative Anarchy’ is an event series exploring the relationships between anarchist thought\, organising\, and creative practice. Resulting from a placement at the Mayday Rooms\, researcher Ruari Paterson-Achenbach will host a series of discussions around materials in the archive\, alongside creative practitioners\, trying to explore what it might mean to ‘create anarchically’. What might it mean to consider creative practice a form of direct action\, or vice-versa? How can artists incorporate the principles of mutual aid into their work? Is the notion of ‘art’ compatible with anarchist thought? Across these three events\, we will answer these questions together using historical examples\, with all the possibilities and limitations they might offer us. \nFor the first session\, Ruari will be in discussion with Stefan Szczelkun\, artist and former member of the Scratch Orchestra. They will focus particularly on a performance by the Scratch Orchestra at the 1971 Art Spectrum exhibition where they collectively built a cottage\, “conceived as a place to play – insulated from the context of ‘high art’”\, based on Szczelkun’s designs. Using materials from the Mayday Rooms collection pertaining to the Cottage performance and Szczelkun’s work more broadly\, they will think about the possibilities for conceiving of creative practice as a form of direct action\, and the particular kinds of political imagination that can be worked towards when making something together. \nFuture events in the series: \nSituationism Revisited – 5th March 2026 7 – 9pm \nCreativity and Mutual Aid  – 9th April 2026 7 – 9pm

SUMMARY:Practical Squatters Evening @ a local squat!
DESCRIPTION:By squatters for squatters! Join us for evenings of practical squatting knowledge\, skillshares\, and meeting squatters new and old. Whether you’re looking to join a crew\, looking for more people to join your crew\, or just coming along to skill up\, we hope that Practical Squatters Evenings can provide something for everyone\, and bring together people in the squat scene in London. _________________________________ \nAfter a recent meeting\, the Practical Squatters Network has decided on some changes to make the network and monthly sessions more useful to people looking to know more about squatting or to share and improve their skills in many of the aspects of squatting life. The Practical Squatters Network has been operating for countless years running regular sessions to introduce people to squatting\, and to help those already squatting to meet others and share skills. The frequency of meetups along with the content has changed over years according to the changing landscape of squatting in the UK\, but currently runs once a month on the 3rd Monday. It fluctuates between being hosted at Decentre\, above Freedom Bookshop\, and on alternate months in a local squat. Going forward all Practical Squatters Evenings will take place in a local squat\, only using Decentre or other anarchist social centres as backup venues in the case a squat falls through for whatever reason. They will continue to run regularly on the 3rd Monday of the month. Each session will also take a particular focus on a topic or skillshare\, to make sessions of more use to people who have already attended previously and heard the usual introductory speil. There will still be fair focus given to anyone who is new and ensure they are not left behind with questions about the basics of squatting.       \n

SUMMARY:Crochet a Balaclava
DESCRIPTION:This week at craft evening I am going to be sitting in a corner trying (and potentially failing) to crochet a balaclava\, and I’ll happily show anyone what I know if you want to join me in that endeavour. I know crochet isn’t for everyone so still come down anyway if you have your own projects to work on; if you want to carry on the painting of the space we started last week; or make use of the materials we have to do some sewing. Either way\, come down for another craft evening and BRING SNACKS (our chocolate supply is getting dangerously low) 😉

SUMMARY:Archiving from Below:  DIY Psychoanalysis and the Free Clinic Archive
DESCRIPTION:For the next event in our ‘Archiving from Below’ series\, we invite two researchers from the Freepsy Research Collective: ‘Free Clinics and a Psychoanalysis for the People: Progressive Histories\, Collective Practices\, Implications for our Times’ to discuss historical findings from free clinics\, grassroots psychoanalytic groups and the future of memory.  \nThe first part will explore DIY psychoanalytic movements in the 1970s in the UK\, including the Barefoot Psychoanalyst\, the Red Collective\, and Red Therapy. Feminist and liberatory social movements of the time critiqued traditional psychoanalysis and implemented new DIY psy practices that addressed how power is maintained through capitalism and political oppression. This history showcases a horizontally structured psychoanalysis that is both a clinical and political exercise\, organised in a very particular manner: the hierarchy between patient and analyst is consistently challenged\, reassessed\, and modified. DIY methods and self-help in this framework imply mutuality and a horizontal relationship based on the exchange of skills\, knowledge\, and resources rather than hierarchy. In this session\, we will grasp historically both hope and despair: examples of activism\, psychoanalysis\, and mutual care as a collective practice of experimentation.  \nThe second part of the session will encourage us to think together about changing archives and archival practice\, especially in relation to collective and social memory. We ask how new collaborative relationships between archives and their users are developing the future of memory. With the notion of the traditional archive dismantling\, we’ll also look at how this reconfiguration of the archive is shifting the mode from exclusivity to inclusivity\, a central theme shared with the free clinics.  \nYou will encounter archival objects from the UK to Brazil that record and retell a history of psychoanalysis as a practice from below. This session will be interactive and open to experimentation\, sharing ideas\, and\, hopefully\, helping us link past and present while imagining the future of psychoanalysis and a network of free clinics.  \nSign up in bio!
