SOCIETY FOR CUTTING UP PAPER: CONFUSION
2026-03-11 18:00 - 20:00 (Europe/London) | Mayday Rooms, 88 Fleet Street, EC4Y 1AE
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.
Join the Society for Cutting Up Paper to explore the theme of CONFUSION, and make the transition from mildly confused to utterly confounded.
“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

BOOK LAUNCH: The Migrant Art of Coping by Sohail Jannesari
2026-03-12 19:00 - 20:30 | Housmans, 5 Caledonian Road King’s Cross, N1 9DX
Join us for an evening with Dr Sohail Jannesari as we discuss his groundbreaking new work of non-fiction, The Migrant Art of Coping.
Refugees don’t just survive displacement, they build strength, community, and new ways of coping that challenge everything we know about mental health.
The Migrant Art of Coping shares stories of refugees navigating harsh borders, restrictive laws, and failing support systems. Drawing on their words, experiences, and creative practices, each chapter offers insights and activities on belonging, care, and survival. Whether you’re a mental health professional, a concerned citizen, or simply curious about how people find hope in the face of upheaval, this book will shift the way you see wellbeing, identity, and healing.
This event will take a slightly different form to usual: rather than Sohail engaging in conversation with an interviewer, he will instead begin my talking a little bit about the book; its history, its intentions and most important arguments, before asking the audience to split off into different groups so that they can discuss the book themselves, and how it reflects their own experiences,before coming back together for an open discussion.
Dr. Sohail Jannesari is a researcher, writer, and educator bridging mental health, migration, and social justice. He partners with sanctuary seekers, young people, survivors of human trafficking, and community groups to explore lived experience, challenge harmful systems and support wellbeing. Find out more on www.sohailj.com.
As always, tickets are priced on a sliding scale. If you are unable to pay for a ticket please do not hesitate to contact us at shop@housmans.com, and a free ticket will be made available.
If you choose ‘book +entry’ your copies of the book will be available to collect on the evening. If you would like to collect it earlier, or arrange for delivery, please contact us (postage is £2.95). Telephone 020 7837 4473 or email shop@housmans.com.
Doors Open at 6:45pm, Event Starts 7:00.

GLOBAL ECOLOGY NOT GLOBAL ECONOMY: ECO-ANARCHIST ARCHIVE LAUNCH
2026-03-14 15:00 - 21:30 | Mayday Rooms, 88 Fleet Street, EC4Y 1AE
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
On 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.
The 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.
There 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!!
This 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.

Brockley Anarchist Reading Club
2026-03-16 18:30 - 20:00 | Brockley Brewery, 31 Harcourt Road, Brockley, SE4 2AJ
Join us as we continue our discussion of Jérôme Baschet’s The Zapatista Experience: Rebellion, Resistance, and Autonomy. ​The Zapatista Experience examines the practical reality of the Zapatista movement in Chiapas, Mexico, focusing on how they have constructed a society independent of the state. Baschet explores the creation of autonomous systems of justice, health, and education. The text invites us to look at a living example of radical democracy and to consider the possibilities of self-governance in the face of global capitalism. ​We’ll be exploring how these practices of autonomy and dignity can inform our own political imagination today. ​All are welcome! Whether you are a lifelong anarchist or just beginning your journey, join us to read, discuss, and imagine a freer world together. ​Book: The Zapatista Experience: Rebellion, Resistance, and Autonomy by Jérôme Baschet

Practical Squatters Evening @ a local squat!
2026-03-16 19:00 | , ,
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. _________________________________
After 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.

Monthly Drop In
2026-03-16 19:00 - 20:00, 2026-03-19 19:00 - 20:00 | LARC, 62 Fieldgate Street, E1 1ES
Need advice about an issue with your boss or landlord? Want support organising in your workplace or community? Want to talk about anarchism or syndicalism? Want to meet members of the group and find out how SolFed works? Just want to say hi? Then come see us at one of these drop in sessions.

BOOK TALK: Superweak: Thinking in the 21st Century: Laurent de Sutter in conversation with Alfie Bown
2026-03-17 19:00 - 20:30 | Housmans, 5 Caledonian Road King’s Cross, N1 9DX
Using the stealth capacities of hermeneutic distrust as his weapon of choice, de Sutter’s writing breaks into unrecovered areas of subtle teachings, shedding light on philosophemes gleaned from Aristotle to punk-led attitude, biojewelry, and the historical buildup of authority billed to the triumph of reason in its many intrusive morphs.— Avital Ronell, New York University
We welcome back the brilliant Alfie Bown to Housmans, this time in the company of Belgian philosopher Laurent de Sutter. The two will be focusing their conversation on the nature and necessity (or, rather, superfluity [as posited by Laurent]) of critique. As a jumping off point they will be using Laurent’s recent work of theory, Superweak: Thinking in the 21st Century. The book is described below:
‘We have become superheroes. Nothing can resist us anymore: not persons, ideas, facts, realities, or beings. We owe our superhuman strength to a tool we have taken up that submits everything to the scrutiny of our judgment: critique. After its first formulation at the end of the sixteenth century, the project of critique spread from one sphere to another until it became almost universal: we have all of us been transformed by our equal capacity to judge, approve, and reject.
If modernity is defined as the journey we have taken to move away from the myths and dogmas of the past, then critique, with its emphasis on reason and the autonomy of judgment, has been the lynchpin of modernity.
Today, however, the critical project shows signs of exhaustion. We are beginning to realize that being right is useless, now that everyone can lay claim to the same power as we can. The democratization of reason, proceeding alongside the development of critique through modernity, has produced a stalemate: for every judgment that we pronounce, there is another opposing one – with grounds as solid as our own, and the same right to assert itself. Rather than elevating us above the world, critique has mired us in an impasse of claim and counter-claim. The age of critique is now over and in its place we need to develop a postcritical form of thinking, one he calls “superweak,” a form of thinking based not on establishing grounds, pronouncing judgment, and determining duty, but on welcoming possibility, exploring what the world has to offer, and cultivating a vertiginous appreciation for moving within a world less grounded and less bounded by the terms of critical reason.’
Professor Laurent de Sutter is Professor of Legal Theory at Vrije Universiteit Brussels. He is the author of more than twenty books translated into a dozen languages. In English, he is the author of Narcocapitalism: Life in the Age of Anaesthesia (Polity, 2017) and After Law (Polity, 2020, French Voices Award, Leopold Rosy Prize of the Belgian Royal Academy). He is the editor of the Theory Redux series at Polity Press and of Perspectives Critiques at Presses Universitaires de France.
Dr Alfie Bown is Lecturer in Digital Media Culture and Technology at Royal Holloway, University of London. His books include Dream Lovers (Pluto, 2022), an investigation into dating apps, sexbots and virtual relationships, Post-Comedy (Polity, 2024), Post-Memes (Punctum, 2019) and The Playstation Dreamworld (Polity, 2017), a psychoanalytic study of video games which is available in Spanish, Portuguese, Serbian, Slovak and many other languages. Currently, he is working on the relationship between psychoanalysis and cybernetics. He is also editor of Everyday Analysis, a pamphlet house and monthly talk series.
Alfie and Laurent will talk for around one hour, we will then have an open discussion. At Housmans, we welcome debate and challenging ideas, so please do attend in that spirit.
As always, tickets are priced on a sliding scale. If you are unable to pay for a ticket please do not hesitate to contact us at shop@housmans.com, and a free ticket will be made available.
If you choose ‘book +entry’ your copies of the book will be available to collect on the evening. If you would like to collect it earlier, or arrange for delivery, please contact us (postage is £2.95). Telephone 020 7837 4473 or email shop@housmans.com.

BOOK LAUNCH: The Othered Woman How White Feminism Harms Muslim Women by Shahed Ezaydi
2026-03-18 19:00 - 20:30 | Housmans, 5 Caledonian Road King’s Cross, N1 9DX
‘An urgent, vital contribution to the feminist conversation – one that tears through the comfortable myth of universal sisterhood’ – Alya Mooro, author of The Greater Freedom
Growing up, journalist Shahed Ezaydi was often asked how she could call herself a feminist and still practise her faith. It’s a question that reveals a deeper issue that Muslim women often face: being ignored in feminist spaces entirely, or cast as passive victims in need of being saved. This mindset fuels gendered Islamophobia and a narrow white feminism. But Muslim women don’t need rescuing.
The Othered Woman is the book Ezaydi wishes her younger self could have turned to. It challenges the myths of how Muslim women are oppressed and who by, and shows that these myths translate into very real harm both in Britain and around the world, showcasing the voices of intersectional feminists who are fighting for liberation on their own terms. Accessible and compelling, this is urgent reading for anyone who considers themselves a feminist.
And we are delighted that Ezaydi is able to join us at Housmans to discuss this essential book.
As always, tickets are priced on a sliding scale. If you are unable to pay for a ticket please do not hesitate to contact us at shop@housmans.com, and a free ticket will be made available.
If you choose ‘book +entry’ your copies of the book will be available to collect on the evening. If you would like to collect it earlier, or arrange for delivery, please contact us (postage is £2.95). Telephone 020 7837 4473 or email shop@housmans.com.

LONG TAKE SCREENING SERIES: United Voices
2026-03-19 18:30 - 20:30 | Mayday Rooms, 88 Fleet Street, EC4Y 1AE
LONG TAKE is a series of three screenings at Four Corners, LUX and MayDay Rooms, which brings together films by the 1930s Workers’ Film & Photo League with contemporary activist films to explore themes of housing, empire and work.
A screening of five films on workers’ struggles, from 1935 protests to today’s fights for workers’ justice. Followed by discussion.
Strife
Film & Photo League, 1937, 26 mins
Filmed in 1935 on 16mm and originally titled ‘Fight’, this attempts to put authentic working class lives on screen in a fictionalised drama produced by workers themselves. The film echoes constructivist devices in its use of close-ups, jaunty angles and distinctive montage sequences, but it is the use of real-life locations and non-professional actors that appear most modern today.
Construction
Film & Photo League, 1935, 10 mins
The Workers’ Film & Photo League manifesto insists that ‘the time has come for workers to produce films and photos of their own’, and the opening credit declares that the film was ‘made by the men on the job’. Shot by carpenter and amateur filmmaker, Alf Garrard, with a concealed camera, the ingenious shooting style results in imaginative angles with a not infrequent lack of focus.
United Voices
Hazel Falck, 2020, 22 mins
This film follows a group of outsourced cleaners, caterers and porters at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, employed by Sodexo, as they organise and embark on their first strike action. They are led by Loreta Younsi and Vitalija Mohamed Mohsen to demand and try to win the London Living Wage, contractual sick pay, safer working conditions, and equality with NHS staff.
10 Years of IWGB
IWGB Union, 2023, 19 mins
The Independent Workers’ union of Great Britain is a grassroots member-led union fighting for justice for workers. Founded 2012 by Latin American cleaners organising for better working conditions, it has grown to thousands of members. This film takes a look back at its history, the achievements of its members and its vision for the future.
Birmingham binworkers strike
Reel News, 2026, 15 mins
The Birmingham binworkers have been out on strike for over a year fighting a life-changing £8,000 a year cut in their pay – disgracefully, by a Labour council. As the council grows increasingly isolated and unpopular, this dispute is being watched closely by other councils across the country… If the binworkers win it could be the start of a serious push for more funding for our cash-starved public services.
Discussion with members of the IWGB, video activist Shaun Dey, MayDay Rooms, artist and researcher Matthias Kispert, and artist filmmaker and lecturer Samuel Stevens.

BOOK LAUNCH: RADICAL JUSTICE: Building the World We Need with Nani Jansen Reventlow
2026-03-19 19:00 - 20:30 | Housmans, 5 Caledonian Road King’s Cross, N1 9DX
Housmans are delighted to be hosting an event around this essential new book — a stalwart guide to strengthen the movement for freedom and equality for all.
Our society is breaking down. Fascists are winning elections, economic inequality is rampant, and the climate crisis is at its tipping point. It feels like the amount of work needed to overcome these injustices is too much to handle. But what if there is a way to lower the threshold to action? Who will free us if not ourselves?
In Radical Justice, international human rights lawyer Nani Jansen Reventlow shows how we can build a fundamentally different future with our own hands. We all have our own spheres of influence, and each of us can be the revolution.
Taking inspiration from the deep well of anti-racist and social activist writers such as Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò and Angela Davis, each chapter offers tips on how to learn, reflect and act in a society where we are told we are powerless. Including advice on strategic litigation, reclaiming our digital rights, reparations demands, climate activism and much more, the information in these pages is indispensable to the struggle for radical justice.
Nani Jansen Reventlow is an international human rights lawyer. She is the founder of Systemic Justice, which advocates for marginalised communities through strategic litigation. Politico named her one of society’s great visionary tech leaders for her work on digital human rights. She has also been honoured with awards from Harvard, Oxford and Columbia Universities.
Nani will read from and talk about the book for about 45 minutes, followed by a Q&A.
As always, tickets are priced on a sliding scale. If you are unable to pay for a ticket please do not hesitate to contact us at shop@housmans.com, and a free ticket will be made available.
If you choose ‘book +entry’ your copies of the book will be available to collect on the evening. If you would like to collect it earlier, or arrange for delivery, please contact us (postage is £2.95). Telephone 020 7837 4473 or email shop@housmans.com.

XS' : Endo-Embroidery with Coco Warner-Allen
2026-03-21 16:00 | The Feminist Library, 161 Sumner Road, SE15 6JL

‘XS’ ENDO-EMBROIDERY WITH COCO WARNER-ALLEN
CO-HOSTED BY FEMINIST LIBRARY & THE POORLY PROJECT
21ST MARCH (16:00 – 18:00)
The 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.
Beyond 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.
‘XS’ reflects the medical and social invisibility of endometriosis, its extensive list of exacerbative symptoms and its chronicity.
Embracing 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.
With 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.

KNOTS: ICE OUT!
2026-03-22 19:00 | Riverside Studios, 101 Queen Caroline Street, W6 9BN
KNOTS is a growing network of creatives collaborating with noise and sound art to fundraise for direct action groups, charities, and more to combat encroaching authoritarianism. Facilitated by Cuttfruit and vanchoked, KNOTS aims to divorce itself from the consumerist driven and barrier entrenched experimental music scene, while opening it up to cross-disciplinary collaborations.
KNOTS: ICE Out! will be fundraising for the Immigrant Defense Network in Minnesota, which supports over 90 immigrant, labor, legal, faith, and community organizations dedicated to protecting and advancing the constitutional rights of immigrant communities.
We are urgently fundraising for them after the recent surge of ICE agents in Minneapolis, and the killings of Reene Good and Alex Pretti. The second Trump administration has been equipped with unprecedented power given by a Republican-filled Supreme Court, backed by Silicon Valley’s tech giants, and empowered by politicians who bend at the knee of capital. The victims of this second administration span political beliefs, race, and even countries, attacking the working-class and impoverished the most.
As a scapegoat for an imperialist country in decline, this administration has targeted our immigrant neighbours. A rhetoric which has spread across establishment parties to appease ever growing ethno nationalist and fascist movements in the U.S. and Europe. We must reject the notion that anti-immigrant rhetoric is based in anything but racism.
KNOTS invites activists, organisers, poets, writers, playwrights, movement artists, and more to collaborate with noise and sound artists to share work that advocates hope, resistance, frustration, and encourages us all to learn from lived experiences. Join us as we demand ICE Out! in America, discuss how we can achieve it, and reject anti-immigrant rhetoric from our governments.

Anarchy in Indonesia - Screening, Presentation and Discussion
2026-03-24 18:00 | 56a InfoShop, 56 Crampton Street,, SE17 3AE
South London Anarchist Nucleus Presents:
Screening, presentation and discussion on anarchy in Indonesia and the need to spread the rebellion where we are.
56a crampton street (SE17 3AE)
Indonesia conjures up images of resorts and attractions for the empty ‘adventures’ of the tourist industry. In fact it is an archipelago of cancerous exploitation which the UK is complicit in to the tune of 2.86 billion dollars a year dispersed in investments in oil and its byproducts (BP), Nickel (for the batteries of the totalitarian ‘green’ transition)and hyper exploitation of labour (the garment industry, Nike in particular).
Last year the elites governing the state in Indonesia awarded themselves a lavish increase in their ‘MPs expenses’ triggering mass protests across the country. In August 2025 an armored vehicle hunting one of these protests crushed a motorcycle delivery driver to death. The archipelago exploded in riotous uproar, burning and destroying every visible symbol of power in its way, spreading everywhere, uncontrollably. Just like in Nepal, Madagascar, Morocco, Iran, and many more, the dispossessed woke up in joyous collusion against the regimes which imprison them.
Since then, anarchists have been designated by judges and TV studios alike as the enemy of the moment. Mass roundups are taking place, torture is widespread, many comrades are in prison, many have been driven into clandestinity. They have clearly been singled out not only due to their impassioned and uncompromising presence among their exploited brothers and sisters in the uprising, but also because of the continuity of their anti-political revolutionary struggle which has spanned self-organised resistance to land grabs to nocturnal assaults on banks and police outpost for years.
We want to share these encounters with anyone who desires to take back their own life. The spirit, action and quality of the Indonesian anarchists is a wellspring of inspiration for proud exiles from the world constructed by the powerful murderers of earth and freedom. In the ﬁrst place we want to contribute to the continuation of the struggle of the comrades facing down state-terrorism in Indonesia.
In the second place we want to break our complicity with the global war on thought, dignity and nature, and take up our complicity in the social war against all forms of power.

BOOK LAUNCH: Suicide by Roger Hallam
2026-03-25 19:00 - 20:30 | Housmans, 5 Caledonian Road King’s Cross, N1 9DX
[Eroding Ed’s note: Fuck Roger Hallam, and boo to Housman’s for stroking his ego. We’d delete it but the event is on radar and our script will just import it again.]
Housmans welcome Roger Hallam to discuss his essential new book: Suicide: The Political and Legal Implications of Creating Endless Mass Death. In the age of climate collapse, telling the truth has become a criminal act. From a cell in Wayland Prison, Roger Hallam—farmer, researcher, and co-founder of Just Stop Oil—delivers a searing indictment of a legal system that punishes those who resist, while protecting those who destroy. In July 2024, Hallam was dragged from a British courtroom for refusing to stay silent about the climate crisis. For “conspiracy to cause a public nuisance,” he was sentenced to five years in prison—the harshest punishment for civil disobedience in the UK in modern British history. The case made front-page news and drew global outcry.
Suicide is part memoir, part political reckoning. Drawing on Hallam’s award-winning research and experience representing himself in four Crown Court trials, it lays bare the moral and legal failures of a society sleepwalking into catastrophe. From climate science and the right of necessity, to the collapse of democratic norms and the illusions of secular reason, this is a radical call to rethink justice, truth, and duty in the face of extinction.

FREEDOM IN INFORMATION: A WORKSHOP ON FOIs, DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS, AND REDACTED FILES with Statewatch
2026-03-25 19:00 - 21:00 | Mayday Rooms, 88 Fleet Street, EC4Y 1AE
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.
Given 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’.

Feminist Fightback Filmclub presents: Babybird Babybird
2026-03-27 19:00 | Pelican House, 144 Cambridge Heath Road, E1 5QJ
This March join us as we show a film that raises more questions than answers. We will be screening the Greek documentary theatrical ‘Babybird Babybird’ (2021, 1h30) by Dimitris Bampilis and the APARÄMILLON creative team, that was commissioned and produced by Onassis Stegi. Why we do (not) have children? Parents-to-be, a new mother, a midwife, a demographer, a sociologist, a neuroscientist, and an anti-natalist YouTuber share their respective opinions on the sexiest ontological question, and take part in a documentary theater performance about the complicated relationship between our sexual life and our reproductive potential. They explore concepts and issues that include ‘low birth rate,’ ‘overpopulation,’ motherhood as a conscious personal choice, pregnancy termination, prenatal checks, national healthcare policy, sperm banks, and dating apps. Using interviews and statistics, personal testimonies and scientific studies, discretion and humor, they intervene into the debate regarding birthrate and parenthood, a recurring debate since moral panic and rhetoric on the dangers of “corrupting the nation” tend to dominate it. After the screeening we will have a Q&A with the team behind the production. See the trailer here Exhibiting anger/ joy during the film at oppressive behaviour/ high points of struggle very much encouraged. Drinks and snacks will be available. Suggested donations on the door £2/5/10 unwaged/waged/solidarity. All genders welcome. Doors open at 7pm.

The space and toilets are level access from the road. Closest stations Bethnal Green tube station and Bethnal Green overground station.

AUTONOMY NOW! PRESENT: ‘Their Wars, Our Dead! Anarchist reflections on anti-militarism since the invasion of Ukraine’with Jason Brannigan and Declan McCormick
‘Their Wars, Our Dead!’
brings together six anarchist responses to war and militarism. The book makes the case that since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, a war fever has swept the anarchist movement and also a larger section of ‘the left’. The essays collected in the book seek to learn from the past in order to put forward a revolutionary yet realistic course of anarchist anti-militarism today.
Some of the topics included are: internationalist opposition to WW1 and WW2; the mechanics of imperialist politics; conscription (and resistance to it) in Ukraine, Russia and Israel; anti-militarist responses to the war in Ukraine; the complex relationship between anarchism and militarism in Ireland.Discussing the topic will be two of the books contributors, Jason Brannigan and Declan McCormick.This event is organised by https://autonomynow.noblogs.org/ ‘Their Wars, Our Dead! Anarchist reflections on anti-militarism’ by Alex Alder and Bill Beech.156 pages. Publishes by Active 2025.
