Festival Coopera - Futuros em Rede

Jardins da Bombarda, sábado, 16 de maio às 10:30 GMT+1

Nos dias 16 e 17 de maio, o Jardins do Bombarda transforma-se no palco para debater o futuro em rede e em comunidade.

Cinco conversas, cinco oficinas, três concertos, uma feira de cooperativas e artesanato. Tudo de entrada gratuita para reunir coletivos, ativistas e investigadores em conversas que se querem horizontais e participadas, sobre como construir soluções coletivas para mudar a sociedade através da cooperação e participação na vida pública.

O Festival Coopera – Futuros em Rede, organizado pela Cooperativa Rizoma, com o apoio da Rede de Cooperativas Integrais, nasce da vontade de aproximar o movimento cooperativo das diversas iniciativas e lutas sociais que também trabalham diariamente por uma sociedade mais justa, ecológica e democrática.

O Festival Coopera conta com o apoio da CASES, da CONFECOOP, da Junta de Freguesia de Arroios e do Largo Residências. E nós contamos contigo 🌱

In the context of the @DigitalCoup and #AuthoritarianTech, can we find an answer in #DemocraticTech? Something that goes beyond mere free/libre open source software, and combines #cooperativism and #commoning. Communities who govern their shared resources, and commit to shared responsibility.

I wrote an article about it, tracing the intellectual origins of the term "democratic technology", connecting to various intersectional critiques of the currently dominant model of surveillance capitalism from feminist, ecosocial perspectives.

Ciclo de Cinema Cooperativista "Empire Me - Der Staat bin ich!"

Rizoma, sexta-feira, 20 de fevereiro às 18:00 GMT

PT:

É já no próximo dia 20 de fevereiro que estreamos o Ciclo de Cinema Cooperativista da Rizoma. Todas as terceiras sextas-feiras do mês, passamos um filme sobre cooperativismo.
 
Nesta primeira sessão teremos a visualização do filme "Empire Me - Der Staat bin ich!" de Paul Poet. Um documentário onde o leva os espectadores a uma viagem global ao estilo "road movie" para explorar a ascensão de micronações e ecovilas, onde indivíduos diversos contornam as restrições de um mundo globalizado para estabelecer os seus próprios territórios e sistemas sociais autogovernados.
Ao documentar esses "contramundos", o filme revela que o escape moderno tem menos que ver com esconder-se e mais com a gestão política complexa de novas sociedades, desafiando, em última análise, o público a reivindicar o seu poder e criar as suas próprias realidades.
 
Juntam-se a nós?

🎟️ Entrada livre

Next Friday, the 20th, we will premiere the Rizoma Cooperative Film Series. Every third Friday of the month, we will screen a film about cooperativism.
 
In this session we will be showing the film "Empire Me - Der Staat bin ich!" by Paul Poet. In his documentary the filmmaker takes viewers on a global "road movie" journey to explore the rise of micronations and eco-villages, where diverse individuals bypass the constraints of a globalized world to establish their own self-governing territories and social systems. By documenting these "counter worlds," the film reveals that modern escapism is less about hiding and more about the complex, political management of new societies, ultimately challenging the audience to reclaim their power and create their own realities.
 
Will you join us?

🎟️ Admission is free

Yesterday I watched #TheTake , a documentary by #NaomiKlein and #AviLewis about the cooperative movement in Argentina, released in 2004.

In the beginning of the 21st century, workers across #Argentina took over control over factories, and began to run them by themselves.

Many of these cooperatives still exist.

This documentary can be a source of hope. We need it.

Anyone at the Workers Governing Technologies workshop/conference on the Fedi?? I bet some of y'all are here. This is such an amazing gathering!!

"The recent book by Marcelo Vieta, Workers’ Self-Management in Argentina: Contesting Neo-liberalism by Occupying Companies, Creating Cooperatives, and Recuperating Autogestion (Haymarket Books, Chicago, 2020), provides a wealth of information and analysis on the emergence of worker-run production cooperatives in Argentina’s crisis-ridden industries. It highlights workers’ prominent role in occupying and self-managing factories that were either shut down or on the brink of closure following the economic crisis of the 1990s. The book also offers fascinating examples of how these worker-managed units were established. Argentina’s labour movement provides valuable lessons for understanding the complexities of workers’ self-management.

To better understand the economic and political conditions that led to these labour movements, it is crucial to briefly consider the historical context of labour organization in Argentina, as discussed in the book and other related sources, particularly its relationship with the state and capitalists. A special focus will be placed on ‘Peronism,’ which significantly shaped labour politics. After that, we will explore some key aspects of the book and conclude with reflections on the concept of workers’ control and its (in-)conceivability under capitalism."

Nice piece on co-op farms, featuring friends at Digger's Mirth and the Intervale.

Nice development in Southern Colorado: a new cooperative-ish organization of farmers, millers, bakers, brewers/distillers, consumers all along the local "grain chain." If you all know of any other grain chain coops, let me know.
