Rebellious Mourning – Talk by Cindy Milstein

Posted on May 28, 2018 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.

Episode 3 – Why We Fail (Lymy @ FemF)

Posted on May 21, 2018June 2, 2020 by Lymy

Welcome to the third episode of the Lymy podcast! This episode is a live recording of our talk at FemF, the Feminist forum in Helsinki with comrades from Allt åt Alla Kvinnofront from Stockholm.

The subject of our conversation was reproductive and emotional labor in political collectives. Analyzing past projects we ask: how can we learn from failure and create long-lasting movements that give more than they take?

To our great pleasure, the room was packed, which is reflected in the sound, so please enjoy!

Good Morning Syria * Moments Of War | Photo Exhibition

Posted on May 8, 2018May 8, 2018 by Lymy

Lymy and Yhdessä 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.

Accessibility info:
The space is not wheelchair accessible, there are steps leading (downwards) into the space and three steps up to the toilet.

Hyvää huomenta Syyria * Sodan hetkiä

Lymy ja Yhdessä Rojavan Puolesta järjestävät 17.-18.5. valokuvanäyttelyn, jossa on esillä Azad Ramazanin viimeisen kuuden kuukauden aikana ottamia valokuvia. Syyrian pitkään jatkunut sota on ulottunut myös Syyrian Kurdistaniksi kutsuttuun maan pohjoiseen osaan. Tämä alue muodostaa keskuksen myös niin kutsutulle Rojavan Vallankumoukselle, mikä rakentuu demokratian, feminismin, antifasismin ja itsepuolustuksen periaatteiden ympärille. Ramazanin sanoin:

“Koin tarpeen lähteä Syyriaan, maahan joka on pitkään ollut sodan näyttämönä, taistellakseni ihmisten puolesta, joita revittiin erilleen kulttuurisen kansanmurhan keinoin. Sota on pelkistänyt ympäristön hauraaksi tyhjyydeksi, missä elämä on menettänyt arvonsa, mutta silti demokraattinen sivilisaatio kamppailee vastaan, yrittäen palauttaa elämän ja vakauden. Täällä ihmisten voima voidaan havaita marttyyrien antamassa voimassa, mikä elää nyt toisissa ja vahvistaa heitä edelleen kamppailuissa. Marttyyrit todella ovat Kuolemattomia.

“Vastarinta on Elämä”, on ajatus, joka resonoi voimakkaasti Kurdien keskuudessa ja on levinnyt myös Arabiväestön keskuuteen.

Halusin ottaa osaa tähän vallankumoukseen ja puolustaa sitä kaikin mahdollisin keinoin. Jos haluamme valloittaa jotain takaisin, meidän on alettava hahmottamaan omaa asemaamme kaiken keskellä. Rojavan naiset ymmärsivät tämän.

Valokuvaprojekti toteutettiin Pohjois-Syyriassa Turkin rajalla sijaitsevan kurdienemmistöisen Rojavan, sekä idempänä sijaitsevan arabienemmistöisen Deir Ezzorin provinssin alueilla. Valokuvat ja videot on kuvattu lokakuun 2017 ja maaliskuun 2018 välisenä aikana Syyrian sisällissodan keskellä, erityisesti Syyrian Demokraattisten Voimien (SDF) ja ISIS:n välisellä rintamalla.”

Hyvää huomenta Syyria * Sodan hetkiä -näyttely on nähtävillä Lymyssä 17.-18.5.
17.5 aikana kello 14-19 ja 18.5 aikana kello 12-17.
