Rebellious Mourning – Talk by Cindy Milstein

Posted on by Lymy

Welcome to Lymy on Friday June 8 at 6 pm to hear about Rebellious Mourning: The Collective Work of Grief (AK Press, 2017) from the editor of the book Cindy Milstein. After the presentation, we will continue the evening in Lymy! Bring cash for books and drinks. The event is in English.

“Rebellious Mourning uncovers the destruction of life that capitalist development leaves in its trail. But it is also witness to the power of grief as a catalyst to collective resistance.”—Silvia Federici, author of Caliban and the Witch

We can bear almost anything when it is worked through collectively. Grief is generally thought of as something personal and insular, but when we publicly share loss and pain, we lessen the power of the forces that debilitate us, while at the same time building the humane social practices that alleviate suffering and improve quality of life for everyone. Addressing tragedies from Fukushima to Palestine, incarceration to eviction, AIDS crises to border crossings, and racism to rape, the intimate yet tenacious writing in this volume shows that mourning can pry open spaces of contestation and reconstruction, empathy and solidarity.

Cindy Milstein is the author of Anarchism and Its Aspirations, co-author of Paths toward Utopia: Graphic Explorations of Everyday Anarchism, and editor of the anthology Taking Sides: Revolutionary Solidarity and the Poverty of Liberalism.

Good Morning Syria * Moments Of War | Photo Exhibition

Posted on by Lymy

Lymy and YhdessĂ€ Rojavan Puolesta will be hosting a photo exhibition from 17-18.5. of photographs taken by Azad Ramazan over the last six months. The northern part of Syria known as the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria is a part of the long war being waged in Syria. The area is the center of the so-called Rojava Revolution that follows principles of democracy, feminism, antifascism and self-defense. In Ramazan’s own words:

“I felt the need to go to Syria to fight for people torn apart by cultural genocide, a land that has long been a theater of war.
Man has reduced the environment to a fragile space where life has lost value, but democratic civilization resists and tries to bring stability back.
The strength of the people is observable by the energy of the martyrs released in the struggle, so Martyrs Don’t Die.
The motto that most resonates among the Kurdish people, and also poured into the Arabs, is “Resistance is Life”.
I wanted to take part in the revolution and defend it by any means necessary and if we want to reconquer something we must begin to regain the sense of our position. The women understood this.

The project was carried out in Northern Syria, between a Kurdish-populated area called Rojava (bordering Turkey) and in the (Arab) province of Deir Ezzor, with its desert and the Euphrates bank. The photos and videos were taken between October 2017 and March 2018, during the Syrian Civil War, particularly on the front where the Syrian Democratic Forces are fighting the Islamic State still.”

Good Morning Syria * Moments of War will be in Lymy from 17-18.5.
17.5 from 14-19 and 18.5 from 12-17.

HyvÀÀ huomenta Syyria * Sodan hetkiÀ

Lymy ja YhdessÀ Rojavan Puolesta jÀrjestÀvÀt 17.-18.5. valokuvanÀyttelyn, jossa on esillÀ Azad Ramazanin viimeisen kuuden kuukauden aikana ottamia valokuvia. Syyrian pitkÀÀn jatkunut sota on ulottunut myös Syyrian Kurdistaniksi kutsuttuun maan pohjoiseen osaan. TÀmÀ alue muodostaa keskuksen myös niin kutsutulle Rojavan Vallankumoukselle, mikÀ rakentuu demokratian, feminismin, antifasismin ja itsepuolustuksen periaatteiden ympÀrille. Ramazanin sanoin:

“Koin tarpeen lĂ€hteĂ€ Syyriaan, maahan joka on pitkÀÀn ollut sodan nĂ€yttĂ€mönĂ€, taistellakseni ihmisten puolesta, joita revittiin erilleen kulttuurisen kansanmurhan keinoin. Sota on pelkistĂ€nyt ympĂ€ristön hauraaksi tyhjyydeksi, missĂ€ elĂ€mĂ€ on menettĂ€nyt arvonsa, mutta silti demokraattinen sivilisaatio kamppailee vastaan, yrittĂ€en palauttaa elĂ€mĂ€n ja vakauden. TÀÀllĂ€ ihmisten voima voidaan havaita marttyyrien antamassa voimassa, mikĂ€ elÀÀ nyt toisissa ja vahvistaa heitĂ€ edelleen kamppailuissa. Marttyyrit todella ovat Kuolemattomia.

“Vastarinta on ElĂ€mĂ€â€, on ajatus, joka resonoi voimakkaasti Kurdien keskuudessa ja on levinnyt myös ArabivĂ€estön keskuuteen.

Halusin ottaa osaa tÀhÀn vallankumoukseen ja puolustaa sitÀ kaikin mahdollisin keinoin. Jos haluamme valloittaa jotain takaisin, meidÀn on alettava hahmottamaan omaa asemaamme kaiken keskellÀ. Rojavan naiset ymmÀrsivÀt tÀmÀn.

Valokuvaprojekti toteutettiin Pohjois-Syyriassa Turkin rajalla sijaitsevan kurdienemmistöisen Rojavan, sekĂ€ idempĂ€nĂ€ sijaitsevan arabienemmistöisen Deir Ezzorin provinssin alueilla. Valokuvat ja videot on kuvattu lokakuun 2017 ja maaliskuun 2018 vĂ€lisenĂ€ aikana Syyrian sisĂ€llissodan keskellĂ€, erityisesti Syyrian Demokraattisten Voimien (SDF) ja ISIS:n vĂ€lisellĂ€ rintamalla.”

HyvÀÀ huomenta Syyria * Sodan hetkiÀ -nÀyttely on nÀhtÀvillÀ LymyssÀ 17.-18.5.
17.5 aikana kello 14-19 ja 18.5 aikana kello 12-17.
