Continuing the discussion around the process of being arrested and
solidarity. To talk about ways it might be possible for revolutionary
politics to have some play in how we formulate our collective response
to being arrested and the ways in which we think of enacting
solidairty. How is it possible to walk the line between necessary
legal formalities and our antagonism towards the state? Is it possible
to gain some sense of power from this process? Is it possible for
those arrested to take actions beyond meekly bowing before the courts?

“Imagine one minute on Death Row... Now
imagine tens of millions of minutes...” -
Mumia Abu-Jamal

Who is Mumia?
Mumia Abu-Jamal is a renowned anti-
capitalist journalist and former Black
Panther from Philadelphia, USA.

2011 is Mumia’s 30th year on Death Row.
In 1981, he was convicted of killing a
police officer, a crime he did not commit.
The trial was marked by blatant racism and
misconduct. Since then, Mumia continues
to struggle from behind bars, writing books
about this hidden part of society and
producing incisive radio broadcasts.

“In Prison My Whole Life” tells the story of
Mumia and his radical life, and the ongoing
push by law enforcement to destroy him
and his message of liberation. The story is
told by William Francome, who was born
on the day Mumia was sent to Death Row.
He pieces the tale together in an accessible
and engaging way, including interviews
with musicians Mos Def, Snoop Dogg, and
activists Angela Davis and Noam Chomsky.

April 24th was Mumia’s birthday, on
April 26th it was announced in the United
States Court of Appeals that Mumia’s
1981 trial was “unconstitutional” and a
new trial must be held within the next
six months. Come celebrate by learning
about this striking story of injustice and
resistance. Let’s share ideas on how we
can support the fight to free Mumia and
end the Death Penalty.

Precarious lives

An Experimental Documentary mixing archival footage of female labour over the past century with 10 portraits of romanian women working in different jobs in different countries today.
The film seeks to challenge the dominant discourse about precarity (and about the precariat as the new proletariat) and the fact that it ignores differences based on gender, limited mobility, and the first and third worlds of Europe.

Cafe this saturday- the 9th of April-

MURAL ADDITIONS
The cafe to further the Mural project at Black Rose books will include artist materials such as textas, drinx snax and musix.

The theme of the Mural thus far is Anarchy versus the current the past and the future of domination and misery. What it is so far is red texta drawings and black and white copy paste ups of flames to the institutions; colonisation, the police, parliament, university. A printing press is spewing posters, people do graffiti and squat spaces we all want to squat!, fire birds rise out of the tangled and broken barbed wire, bars and concrete of this society as we fight to break free.

BE A PART OF THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE, BY BEING A PART.

5:00- LATE.
