Summary: 
educational event about some underground projects in Belarus

When:
Friday, March 9, 2012 - 5:30pm to 7:00pm
Location:
Occupy Chicago Headquarters, 500 W Cermak, Room 501,
Facilitator:
Members of the Rebel Studies Library in Belarus

This teach-in will explore the effects of state repression on contemporary political practice in Belarus. When “traditional” methods for free speech and civil disobedience aren’t available, how does one adapt? The facilitator, a young anarchist philosopher from Minsk, will discuss some of the noncommercial and alternative spaces in his hometown. A short video about recent crackdowns will be shown, as well as a film about the Masterskaya squat that existed in Minsk from May to October of 2008. We’ll also hear about Rebel Studies Library, an educational project he began with friends.
