Occupied London editors on Revolt and Crisis in Greece at Autonomia Social Center in Seattle
Occupied London presents: Revolt & Crisis in Greece
Reflections on the December Insurrection, the Economic Crisis, and Ongoing Struggles in Greece and beyond…
A multimedia presentation and discussion
Antonis Vradis and Dimitris Dalakoglou are editors of the anarchist journal and blog Occupied London and members of the antagonist movement in Greece and the UK. Since the Greek Insurrection of December 2008 the OL blog has been an important source of English language updates from the streets of Athens, Thessaloniki and other cities across the country.
This event is part of a US tour celebrating the release of Occupied London’s latest project: a book titled ‘Between a Present Yet to Go and a Future Yet to Come: Revolt and Crisis in Greece‘, published by AK Press.
Taking some of the themes emerging from the book’s twenty chapters as a starting point, they will be discussing trajectories of struggle and resistance in recent years, the current economic reality in Greece defined by austerity, ways in which people are affected on an everyday level, and emergent potentialities for struggle.
Dimitris and Antonis are researchers and writers studying Greece and share their time between there and the UK. Dimitris works on the materialities of social change in the Balkans and Greece; Antonis researches the Athens neighbourhood of Exarcheia and its concentration of riots in Greece’s post-dictatorial period.
