6 – 10 pm FöCa Squat Café
Das letzte selbstverwaltete Café der Universität Freiburg lädt ein. Input zur Geschichte des FöCa, offener Austausch und einfach nur Chillen: Wieso ist das FöCa das einzige seiner Art? Wie können Freiräume an der Universität politisch gestaltet und mehr werden? Erfahrungen, Ideen, Vernetzung… Wir freuen uns besonders über Menschen aus anderen Fakultäten und nicht-universitären Kontexten. Schnuppert rein, genießt mit uns ein kühles Getränk, fläzt auf der Couch oder wärmt euch einfach nur bei einem Tee auf.

17h KTS Open plenary
Die Hälfte der Squatting-Days sind vergangen und wir wollen ein offenes Plenum einberufen um mit allen daran Beteiligten zusammen zu überlegen, wie es an welchen Ecken weiter gehen kann, wie wir mit möglicherweise schon eingetretenen Repressionen umgehen und worauf wir sonst noch so Bock haben.
Thursday, 24.10.
19h Jos Fritz Café: Finissage „Vibesbilder“ LocArtista
Letzter Abend im Rahmen der Ausstellung „Vibesbilder“ vom LocArtista Festival und gleichzeitig erstes Künstlerinnen*-Café. Zum Kennenlernen, spontanen Pläneschmieden oder Herzausschütten für alle kunstschaffenden und kunstinteressierten Frauen*.
19h Kyosk: strategies of the climate (justice) movement – a critical discussion about Extinction Rebellion
Discussion based on texts from media and political groups about XR, it’s goals, perspectives and how an anarchist perspective on it might look like.
[de] Anhang von Texten aus den verschiedensten Ecken der Medienlandschaft
wird eine Kritik an XR umrissen. Wir fragen uns, welche Tragweite diese
Bewegung tatsächlich haben kann und was XR eigentlich mit
anarchistischen Idealen zu tun hat. Kann eine zivilgesellschaftliche
Bewegung Regierungen dazu drängen, ihr Klimaziele einzuhalten? Und wie
sieht es eigentlich um die Frage um Gewalt bei Aktionen aus? Und was hat
es mit dem freundlichen Umgang mit der Polizei während Verhaftungen auf
sich? Ist XR gar elitär, regressiv, naiv?
Falls euch folgende Zitate zu vorliegenden Texten ansprechen, schaut
vorbei. Wir hoffen auf eine lebhafte Diskussion!
“Das ist eine Bewegung von Millennials, die von Wissenschaft sprechen
mögen, aber von schierem Irrationalismus getrieben sind, von Angst,
moralischem Zusammenbruch und Menschenhass. Das ist die
heruntergekommene, selbsthassende Bourgeoisie, die zusammenkommt, um
ihre eigenen psychosozialen Defizite auf die Gesellschaft insgesamt zu
projizieren.” Brendan O‘Neill
“Da gibt es Kakao-Zeremonien und Gruppen, in denen jeder seine Angst vor
der Auslöschung der Menschheit besprechen kann. Stunden der Stille
werden abgehalten, um die innere Ruhe und die Verbundenheit mit den
anderen Menschen in der Gruppe zu finden: Gleichgewicht finden für die
adrenalingeladene Revolution. Am Mittwoch gibt es in Berlin eine Stunde
Meditation für die Erde.” Ingo Arzt
“Nichts ist für einen wertkonservativen Linken schlimmer als eine neue
erfolgreiche Protestbewegung, die das eigene Deutungsmonopol zur
Weltrettung bedroht.” Mikael in den Fahrt
“Cops believe in authoritative systems and every act of disobeying their
authority might be a provocation for them. I believe that we should not
take this, if the police feels provoked or not, as a measurement to
choose which strategy we value as effective.” Anomym hambacherforst.org
“Hierarchie, Intransparenz, Gurus und esoterische Ideologie satt. Statt
kritischer Aufklärung bieten sie Inszenierungen, bei denen drei Menschen
mit Seil um den Hals am Galgen stehen, unter ihren Füßen schmelzendes
Eis. Mich erinnerte das Bild an Erhängung von Zivilist*innen durch
Wehrmacht und SD-Gruppen an der Ostfront.” Jutta Ditfurth
“The strategy of XR, with the primary tactic of being arrested, is a
valid one – but it needs to be underlined by an ongoing analysis of
privilege as well as the realityof police and state violence.” Red pepper
(as part of Zum Kuckuck! open anarchist meeting, AG Freiburg)

Arrival
15h-18h: Hangry Zine project – information and workshop
Presentation of the Hangry Zine project followed by a creative workshop
on body image and body normativity.
Because our daily life is normalized and because even though in activist
circles most norms get questioned, body norms are too rarely an issue
that we talk about, during this workshop, you are invited to express
yourself on this topic in any form – collages, poetry, texts, drawings…
In the end, you can keep what you did for yourself or share it (also
anonymously) with the other participants.
We provide materials for handicrafts, writing and drawing as well as
little impetus for writing.
A little infokiosk with zines and books will be there.
The persons giving the workshop speak German and English.
Saturday, 19.10.
7 pm legal team info workshop “what to do when things get rough?”
7 pm Can’t evict solidarity (EkiB)
This workshop will be in German but we can try to organise a whisper translation into English
As part of the solidarity campaign “You can’t evict Solidarity”, activists will give an account of the current situation and the repression against refugees in Greece and along the Balkan route. In order to do this they will give a short overview about the situation on the frequented so-called “Balkan route”, especially with regard to state repression against refugees, resistance and emancipatory projects that try to oppose state control and repression – squats play an important role here. Additionally, there will an account of and updates about lawsuits and the current anti-repression work of the group “Can’t evict Solidarity”. After this there will be space for a discussion about transnational anti-racist struggles, solidarity work and the possibilities to support such struggles.
