Disgraça info fundraiser
Disgraça – Sunday: Fox Stage 09:30 – 11:00

9 years ago, we decided to break the boredom that haunted our routines and get together to open an anti-authoritarian space – a space where we could discuss and create collective solutions to problems that we had been individualising. Today, in a city devastated by real estate speculation, the housing crisis and the elitisation of culture, we have come together in resistance, this time to put an end to the monthly extortion we are subjected to and collectively acquire the space of Disgraça. A space where we and so many others have been organising, conspiring, dreaming and having fun for the last decade – for a future based on solidarity and mutual support, as opposed to one based on the property market and private property, hostage to landlords.

Patriarkraakt; unlearning toxic masculinity in ourselves & our scene
Patriarkraakt – Sunday: Crow Stage 11:15 – 12:45

We’re all living with the internalized gender binary. In society, our scene and ourselves this lives and fucks with us, our relations and our interactions. Our scene and individuals in it might view ourselves as having good, healthier feminist&anti-gender binary practices, but the reality sadly is very different. In this workshop we’ll collectively make visible how the gender binary works, the impact it has on us and how we can realize healthier practices. Open to all genders, but focused on unlearning toxic masculinity.

 

The Hologram: Weaving postcapitalist support structure for radical and community healthcare
Bruno and Sage from The Hologram – Saturday: Crow Stage 09:30 – 12:45

Description of concept: The hologram is an anti-capitalist, non-transactional and viral exercise for radical and community non-expert healthcare. Its protocol ensures that all caretakers are cared for, and regards properly supporting someone else’s well being as therapeutic in itself. The premise is simple: three people – the ‘Triangle’ – meet on a regular basis, to listen to and support the physical, mental and social health of a fourth person – the ‘Hologram’. It’s based on the experimental care models developed in the Social Solidarity Clinics in Greece during the height of the financial and migration crisis, and we use it as a tool to learn to create a web of sustainable support structures, to learn to ask for support and to empower ourselves into taking control of our own care.
