If one follows world events with open eyes, the question arises: why are
we anarchists and our ideas and methods so socially irrelevant at this
point in history?
Raging wars and a variety of global crises increasingly highlight the
inability of those in power to offer real solutions. If their best
response is to sow fear and conscript us as drone and cannon fodder,
then the current situation demands revolutionary responses from below.
What do we have to propose?
From November 7th to the 9th, we want to come together at Mehringhof in
Berlin-Kreuzberg, get to know each other and our different realities,
and exchange ideas. We gather not only to react to the new failures of
the state and capitalist system, but also to develop our own long-term
responses and build resilient networks and structures based on mutual
aid and communality, as well as an anti-authoritarian, non-reformist and
antagonistic stance.
The meeting sees itself as an experimental space for self-organization,
with co-creation by all participants. As the initiating group, we
organize the space for the meeting as well as a certain framework (food,
pre-selection of events, time allocation…), which can then be filled
with life by all of us who come to the meeting. It will be possible to
hold several events at the same time.
If this appeals to you, we welcome you and your proposals – in the form
of talks, discussions, workshops, films and other artistic contributions
on the following topics:
War, genocide and military mobilization
Decolonial movements (e.g. Palestine, Sudan, Congo)
Advance of the right and social fascization
Earth destruction
Criticism of technology (e.g. AI and co)
Health autonomy
Feminism (esp. patriarchal dynamics in the anarchist movement)
If there are other topics that are close to your heart, then of course
it is also possible to bring them in.
Everyone is invited to contribute their practical experiences in
(self-)organizing. Historical and theoretical contributions are also
welcome if they focus on nourishing the practice and building stronger
connections to current struggles.
On one hand, we seek to facilitate international exchange and knowledge
transfer, so reports and continued discussions from previous anarchist
events are strongly encouraged. Translation between German and English
will be provided, and we invite speakers of other languages to volunteer
as interpreters as well.
On the other hand, with this gathering we hope to strengthen the
relationships between anarchist circles and individuals in Berlin, of
which there are fortunately many, but which often exist side by side
without much exchange between them.
Please contact us in case you:
have event proposals
could translate at the event
would like to draw/design a poster (it would be nice to have
several)
could provide a place to sleep
would like to support otherwise
Here are the forms to facilitate the submission of your proposal:

We are looking forward to your contributions. Please, repost and
translate the call. See you soon!
