HAMBURG>situation 4>Workshop, lecture, films>Rote Flora





The night started after the end of the Reclaim the Streets...60 people were arrested and many people in Rote Flora were working with the lawyers for solidarity...More than 100 came in the central room of Rote Flora for this 5 hours event of multimedia lectures, workshops and film shows... Our situation started with an inspirational workshop with individuals associated with the Crimethinc Ex-Workers Collective about how insurrectionary activity leads to the creation, not of isolated individuals, but of collective power, so that starting from the personal understandings you lead in the decision to participate in collectives and working together with people...Void Network and Global Eye continued the night with the reading of the lecture: "Fragments from the arising of a Kosmo-Political Consiousness" that tries to combine the everyday life with the future utopia here and now...Global Eye made some spectacular void art visual show and eveybody travelled through the words and images in the decision to put their dreams in action:
"The barbaric and irrational laws of today and all the inhuman contemporary forms of legislation, if compared with the past legislations and laws, prove that there is no hope for any reference to an ideal past and that a free society of free humans could have never existed. Therefore all of us – and only us - the humans that are awakened by the pain of “the Other” will be able to cultivate our political and philosophical thought; the thought that will awaken the consciousness of humans who live imprisoned by the barbarism and the inhumanity of laws and legislation of our days- by focusing on free dialogue, creative thought, exploration of our philosophical consciousness, political consciousness, and critical thinking...

...We will travell towards a self-realization of humanity that has never been achieved in past societies.

Absence of all particulars, this constitutes the socio-political universe in which we live.

We have to announce: Cosmos (world) without hierarchy, humans who obey no one, a society indifferent in the possession of Plutos (wealth), leaders who do not command, culture without ethics, without sin and without cause for sin, society with out social classes, a society without Kratos (state), armies, prisons and police, nation-spheres without borders, economies without profit, markets without commerce, to work and not to serve, to live a life free of struggle for survival…"

The night continued with the showing of the film Lucky People Center International from Lucky People Center International Collective a film made by film makers, artists and musicians that travelled around the world and combined images, ideas and sounds from people that through their very existance deny globalization of capitalism and offer another direction of travell for earth in space, time and history

Then it was the film "Breaking the Spell" that is a 1999 anarchist documentary, directed by Tim Lewis, Tim Ream, and Sir Chuck A. Rock. Using amateur camera footage recorded by protesters at the scene of the WTO of Saettle it documents the riot from the perspective of the anarchists, their opinions of fellow protesters, local politicians...

As a conclusion of the night we showed "The Society of the Spectacle" by Guy Debord...

Then we continued our night by making the "Total Freedom" banner for the next day´s demonstration
