Challenging Corporate Power and Capitalism
Challenging Corporate Power and Capitalism
Speakers:
Brid Brennan, Tatiana Moutihno
Full description:
This participatory space will focus principally on the struggles challenging Corporate Power with a brief introductory framing on current capitalism and neoliberalism looking at
“Europe in its “Peripheries” and at Europe-Global South contexts. The debate will further focus on campaigns such as: The Just Cause-the case vs ENI (Italy); the experience of the garment industry struggles in Serbia; and the Global Campaign - Dismantle Corporate Power: the struggle to regulate TNCs at the UNHRC and of corporate capture of global governance and the multilateral system. There will be opportunity also to exchange on other campaign experiences.
We will also explore the obstacles to building transnational solidarity and exchange on strategies that go beyond our silos and strengthen convergences that can more effectively challenge corporate power.

Unpacking the climate-breakdown militarism nexus
Unpacking the climate-breakdown militarism nexus
Speakers:
Dafne Yeltekin, Edwick Madzimure
Full description:
Climate change is here, affecting regions all over the planet and constituting a factor of insecurity for hundreds of millions of people. Yet, little is done to stop irreversible damage to the delicate balances of our planets ecosystems. Specially those countries which are responsible for the greatest part of the emissions today but also historically, are discussing adaptation and mitigation of climate change effects in a militarized context. At the same time the military industry, as well as the world greatest armies are one of the major polluters of our earth. In this workshop we will highlight the connection of militarism to the climate breakdown and we will discuss possible ways to break this vicious cycle

Europe’s double standards: The story of the Belarusian – Polish Border
Europe’s double standards: The story of the Belarusian – Polish Border
Speakers:
Aigul Hakimova, Rut Kurkiewicz
Full description:
This workshop will look at two aspects of migration: the right to move and the right to stay.
Two paradigmatic cases will be the subject of discussion: The recent Belarusian-Polish border, where migrants struggled to enter the Schengen zone, and a longer-term Balkan route, which is the route for thousands to reach Western countries.
Both routes are defined by state and police violence and the autonomy of migration. The main actors are clear, but what about the others? So we try to go through the topics to clarify our understanding and the political dimension of migrants' struggles as a reference point of autonomy:
- To look at border movements beyond the hybrid narrative of attack;
- To see the point of view that is not only explained by the humanitarian crisis;
- Understanding the movement beyond the national propaganda produced by the West and the East;
- Avoiding the meta-narrative of contemporary geopolitics;
- Recognising the efforts of the movement beyond the accusations and military discourses;
- Why is the refugee movement the strongest subjectivity in terms of confrontation with the border regimes, and whose borders are they liberating?
- How do they find ways to resist, either territorially or by trying to survive?

Feminist political economy: (re)imagining reproduction and care
Feminist political economy: (re)imagining reproduction and care
Speakers:
Federica Giardini, Nela Porobic
Moderation:
Heidi Meinzolt
Full description:
This workshop will explore different forms of reproduction and care, seeking to understand how our practices can best be connected to overall demands for social justice, environmental sustainability, and equality between people and countries. We seek to explore how these practices can be (re)shaped and used to confront and resist capital accumulation, capitalist exploitation, and oppression. We strive towards grounding the workshop in our collective experience and knowledge. With that in mind the workshop will be a space for dialogue, exchange of experiences and co-creation and visioning of how reproduction and care for a just, sustainable, and solidary world can look like.

“Solidarity Forever!” Working Poor and Social Unionism
“Solidarity Forever!” Working Poor and Social Unionism
Speakers:
CLAP
Full description:
Thirty years of neo-liberal policies, the economic crisis since 2007, the pandemic, and finally the war has radically transformed the labor market. As an exception, precarious work is now the norm. Contractual and wage insecurity make union organization increasingly complicated. That is why it is necessary to rethink the union, the strike, and the forms of struggle in the workplace and in society. The workshop aims to promote the confrontation and connection between trade union experiments that, in various ways, attempt to organize the working poor.
This workshop will be in EN.

Camera Obscura
Moderation:
Inbal Volpo, One State Embassy
Full description:
A site specific action installation that examines the documented image.
artists: Inbal Volpo
Inbal Volpo is a Multidisciplinary artist, activist & teacher.
OneState Embassy is a multidisciplinary art and political collective that reinterprets a reality in which people who are coming from conflict & war zones actively work on bringing the different communities closer.
About the art work:
In 2006, the photography theorist, Dr. Ariela Azoulai, wrote in her book Civil Convention of
Photography:
“The Photograph is the only civil shield that is sometimes available to those who have
been deprived of their citizenship.”
Photography embraces a civil covenant between the observer, the object of observation
and the act of observation - the act of criticism.
An analog photography project dealing with the relationship between the interior and the
exterior. By dismantling the superiority of the photographer over the mechanism - by
eliminating the point of view, the possibility of expanding the vision beyond what is seen
is examined.
The exhibition is a comparison.
Satellite images approved by the IDF censor, edited to look through the smoke of the
bombing.
In the center of the room a tent, an apparatus, a Dark Chamber, from which the artist
develops photographs - captured fragments of the room and the people walking.
The exhibition will be in EN.

No Care – No peace
No Care – No peace
Speakers:
Andrea Marikovsky, Heidi Meinzolt, Patrizia Sterpetti, Saskia Basa
Full description:
A participatory social art workshop. There is no peace without Care. Care is costly, most of the value generated though Care work does not appear in the official budgets, financial flows, or economic balances of national households.
But Care-works helps to survive crisis. It is expensive and investment in the care economy does not appear attractive within a capitalist logic since it does not allow accumulation. Investment in it is, however, a must if one looks at it from the viewpoint of citizens’ needs and the obligation to respect human dignity, two essential factors of positive peace. Care means taking responsibility, for nature, for others, for the future. If NO CARE – NO PEACE.
Our workshop opens up this idea giving time to each other, to small things, to conversations, to creativity, to conviviality. We invite you to be involved in a participatory play including art pictures. We will use them as tools to meet characters, conflicts and form of cooperation, and through dialogue create a new piece together.
This workshop will be in EN.

Countering Border Regimes in Europe and Beyond
Countering Border Regimes in Europe and Beyond
Speakers:
Sofian Philip Naceur
Full description:
The systematic violence against people on the move continues unabated while governments increasingly try to filter migration according to economic needs. Migration control policies and the “border management” approach have been turned into ever-present imperatives. As Europe will not change course, resistance movements in the Global South need to take a lead.
Restrictive migration control regimes are being spread around the world, international refugee law is being turned into an empty shell and the systematic violence against people on the move at the EU’s external border and beyond continues unabated. Governments weaponize migration for the sake of those in power and the stability of a globalized capitalist system, build on exploitation, social inequalities and oppression. There is no alternative to continue scandalizing this violence, yet imperial powers will not change track. To effectively challenge those border control regimes, resistance movements in Europe need to form inter-sectional alliances while struggles in the Global South need to take a lead.
This lecture will be in EN/IT.
