Le 30 novembre à l'Achoppe, rejoignez nous pour une discussion avec un membre du collectif Woodbine basé à New-York pour une conversation à propos de l'autonomie, des infrastructures en commun, de l'organisation au sein de nos quartiers et du rôle des espaces autonomes en temps de crise.
La discussion sera en anglais, mais une traduction chuchotée sera offerte à celleux qui le désirent.
«We'd like to have a conversation on the long histories of crisis and disaster we've lived through in the last two decades, from 9/11, to the Financial Crisis, to Hurricane Sandy, to Covid, and our experiments since 2014 with neighborhood self-organization and autonomy in Ridgewood, Queens. Amidst the ongoing deterioration all around us, and with each new catastrophe we face, it's clear that our horizon is one of survival rather than recovery. A year and a half into Covid, we'd like reflect together on what we mean by concepts like mutual aid, disaster relief, and autonomy. We will briefly trace the history of Woodbine since 2014, and our transition in March 2020 to becoming a full-time emergency response hub. We'll highlight our experiments with community organizing around food sovereignty, from our weekly Sunday dinners and BBQ's, community gardens, summer and winter community supported agriculture programs, free community refrigerator, seed library, and food pantry. How do we think together the extended time-frames of the political, economic, ecological, social, and biological crises we face, and how does it influence our longer-term visions of a life in common? And how do we make room for art, cinema, poetry, and practices to strengthen our creativity, and physical and mental health?»
