SUMMARY:SITUATIONISM REVISITED: Creative Anarchy Part 2
DESCRIPTION:For our second session\, we will be (re)assessing the historical legacy and ongoing practices of Situationist approaches to creativity\, social intervention\, and anti-art practices more broadly. This discussion will be kickstarted by a roundtable of artists\, researchers and donors to the collection\, and then open out into a collective interrogation of the anarchic possibilities of Situationist practices. From lettrist interventions and May 68 insurgency to three-sided football and psychogeographic wandering\, Situationist practices can teach us a lot about what it might mean to create anarchically.  \n‘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.*  \nSign up here  \nForthcoming events In the series (tickets available end of March): \nCreativity and Mutual Aid  – Thursday 9th April 2026 7-9pm

SUMMARY:SOCIETY FOR CUTTING UP PAPER: CONFUSION
DESCRIPTION:Confusion reigns\, like an ailing monarch waiting to be dethroned by age\, illness\, impropriety\, or the guillotine. In the midst of this madness\, only one thing makes sense: taking everything apart and putting it together again. \nJoin the Society for Cutting Up Paper to explore the theme of CONFUSION\, and make the transition from mildly confused to utterly confounded. \n“For me\, collage is mystical. The materials I work with have their own histories\, their own spirits. Collage allows me to drop away from the conscious mind and make seemingly impossible associations. It helps me reframe and rearrange what I think I know.” – Lesley Wood \nAll materials are provided\, but you are welcome to bring more.

SUMMARY:GLOBAL ECOLOGY NOT GLOBAL ECONOMY: ECO-ANARCHIST ARCHIVE LAUNCH
DESCRIPTION:In the 1990s\, living in a tree on the route of a planned bypass was where it was at. Everyone spent all their time down tunnels\, climbing on top of diggers and then dancing all night at outdoor raves. Well\, OK\, that wasn’t everyone and not every day was like that\, but… the British ecological direct action movement of the 1990s pioneered tree villages and tunnels as tactics of resistance against the destruction of nature by road building\, quarrying and a spreading tide of concrete as well as resisting deforestation\, car culture and genetic engineering. Join us for a full day of talks\, presentations\, screenings and archival workshops to explore what we can learn from the environmental direct action movement of the 1990s and early 2000s \nOn the day\, together with past members of direct action environmental groups\, we will delve deeper into the political and social context in which this movement emerged\, untie the interwoven strands of political movements\, ideologies and subcultures that came together under the banner of radical ecology and reflect on the noisy defeats and silent victories that came out of it. \nThe second part of the day will be devoted to activist media and forms of remembering. Focusing on the history of the campaign against genetically modified crops\, recent efforts to digitise 20 years of Earth First! Action Update newsletter and the creation of the online platform Resistance! Archive\, we will reflect on the value of independent media and radical archives and how they can help us fill important gaps in collective memory. \nThere are breaks planned throughout the day and a shared dinner in the evening\, with food inspired by the eco-anarchist archive. We will wrap up the day with a selection of classic activist films from the 1990s and 2000s\, and some drinks and music till late!! \nThis collection forms part of a wider project on the Ecological Movement\, generously supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Keep an eye out for the other collections we will be launching later in the year.

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:XS' : Endo-Embroidery with Coco Warner-Allen
DESCRIPTION:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1983963430026?aff=oddtdtcreator \n‘XS’ ENDO-EMBROIDERY WITH COCO WARNER-ALLEN\nCO-HOSTED BY FEMINIST LIBRARY & THE POORLY PROJECT\n21ST MARCH (16:00 – 18:00)\nThe Feminist Library and The Poorly Project are thrilled to announce ‘XS’ – an endo-embroidery workshop led by artist Coco Warner-Allen\, dedicated to Endometriosis Awareness Month.\nBeyond its initial identification in 1690 by German physician Daniel Schroen – endometriosis has been labelled as a ‘missed disease’\, afflicted by diagnostic errors\, medical downplay\, gaps in research and the absence of a cure.\n‘XS’ reflects the medical and social invisibility of endometriosis\, its extensive list of exacerbative symptoms and its chronicity.\nEmbracing a medium that allows the mind to find distraction\, rest and creative curiosity\, artist Coco Warner- Allen guides participants through beginner-friendly stitches and beading exercises\, influencing delicate Toile de Jouy textiles through embellishment.\nWith community and creative voyage at its core\, ‘XS’ encourages greater value towards art-making within our chronic health journeys.  It reminds us that embroidery exists as an accessible\, artistic resource\, aiding personal expressions that build upon self-care\, our sense of hope and healing.\nFor more information\,  full workshop details and tickets\, head to thepoorlyproject.com/poorlyevents

SUMMARY:FREEDOM IN INFORMATION: A WORKSHOP ON FOIs\, DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS\, AND REDACTED FILES with Statewatch 
DESCRIPTION:It is becoming more and more difficult to get to the facts of the matter. The long-awaited release of government records arrive blackened out — heavily redacted and illegible. Declassified documents\, verifying war crimes and clandestine military operations\, turn damp and moth-infested in archival warehouses and basements. Freedom-of-Information requests are rejected on grounds of research costs and lack of specificity. These procedural roadblocks exist whilst the rightwing pundits often enjoy boundless informational and epistemic freedom in a post-truth climate. \nGiven that the act of reading declassified/redacted documents and writing FOI requests is a complicated and exhausting process\, the proposed workshop encourages attendees to refine their FOI writing skills — with attention paid to the specific conventions of EU\, US\, and UK FOI frameworks. The workshop will also provide attendees an opportunity to read a range of recently declassified materials collectively\, opening up the space to communal interpretation and analysis. Through an interactive program\, we will consider the forms and genres of classification\, attend to particular strategies of gatekeeping\, blackboxing and obfuscation\, and finally\, explore recent and emerging forms of ‘epistemic’ violence and alethocide (the deliberate destruction of truth). The workshop will be followed by a lecture on the writing and study of history in ‘redacted times’. \n

SUMMARY:Unfurling Māori & Pasifika Print Publishing: A Group Study Session at the Feminist Library
DESCRIPTION:https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/unfurling-maori-pasifika-print-publishing…\nJoin publisher Kaiya Waerea in a group study session exploring the Feminist Library’s collections relating to Māori & Pasifika feminist organising in the late 20th century. Together we will look at key periodicals including Bitches\, witches & dykes (1980-82) and Broadsheet (1972-1997) and reflect on questions including:\nHow have indigenous practises of knowledge sharing and collective decision making gone on to shape authorship\, editorial processes\, and collective organising within indigenous publishing practices?\nWhat does it mean to consider print a diasporic medium? How did this material get here\, and what does that tell us about the movement of people and knowledge between settler colonised land and the land of the coloniser through time?\nHow has indigenous feminist publishing in the South Pacific diverged from and resisted the norms of imported white feminism? \nKaiya will share a bit about his work so far with some of this material\, then we will spend most of the session browsing\, reading and discussing what we find together.\nThis hui will prioritise people of the South Pacific diaspora\, as well as those that relate to the material through other indigenous positionalities\, to connect and learn from this whakapapa of mana wāhine & takatāpui publishing. \nThis will be an informal session\, and koreoro will be followed by some food.

SUMMARY:Reading Group 19 – Resistance in the Workplace
DESCRIPTION:For out 19th reading group we will be doing something a little different; instead of reading a book we will be reading a set of articles suggested by different members of the reading group. \nThe articles chosen have been deliberately selected to give differing and conflicting perspectives on organising and resisting in the workplace in order to provoke discussion on the topic.\nThe article we are reading will be:\nAnarcho-Synidcalism by Tom Wetzel – A short introduction to modern anarcho-syndicalism.\nTrade Unionism by Anton Pannekoek – A short critique of trades unions/introduction to council communism.\nDeath to Rank and Filism! by pre-Proletarian Gob – A critique of rank and file organising in the British postal service in the 90s.\nDare to be a Daniel by Wilf McCartney – A short history of one the early British syndicalist unions from 1905 to the first world war.\nA Critique of Syndicalist Methods by Alfredo Bonanno – A Longer piece that is a critique of syndicalism from an insurrectionary vantage point.\nStrategy & Struggle by SolFed – A Longer piece that is an internal debate within the anarcho-syndicalist Solidarity Federation. \nOur friends at Freedom Press here host the reading group for free\, so please support them by using them for your supply of radical books and zines.\nThe reading group will be meeting on Tuesday the 31st of March\, 19:00\, at Freedom Bookshop\, 84b Whitechapel High St\, London E1 7QX. You are welcome to come and join in the discussion even if you have not finished the reading.
