The Occupied Times has joined with The Anticapitalist Initiative, Ceasefire Magazine, Globalise Resistance, New Left Project, The Platypus Affiliated Society and Pluto Press to organise Up The Anti: Reclaim The Future. The not-for-profit event will take place on Saturday December 1 at Queen Mary University, not far from Mile End and Stepney Green underground stations.
The full day event will consist of an eclectic mix of sessions, ranging from in-depth seminars and debates to participatory, facilitated discussions and workshops. On the agenda will be everything from Resurgence for the Left amidst crisis in Greece to a Housing Crisis in Britain, from looking at strategies for social transformation to looking at the potential and pitfalls of a debt resistance movement.
The likes of David Graeber, Mark Fisher, Ewa Jasiewicz, Dan Hind and Lena Rethel will be speaking. There will also be spaces for ground level activists to exchange ideas and feedback on what they’ve learned from previous experiences as well as discussing what they have planned for 2013.
A gig will be held at Queen Mary Student Union after the event, with comedy, music and DJs. Highlights include political comedians Kate Smurthwaite and Chris Coltrane and blues guitarist Sean Taylor.
