We are Samidoun; the Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, an international network of organizers and activists working to build solidarity with Palestinian prisoners in their struggle for freedom.
Our main focus in The Netherlands is to spread awareness about the thousands of Palestinian political prisoners who are being held captive by the settler colonial state known as Israel.
Besides this, we are also firm supporters of the complete liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea.
We plan solidarity stands, demonstrations, and events in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. On the 9th of March, we will cook at the Volkskeuken in Joe’s Garage.
All the proceeds will go into purchasing flags, printing flyers and other basic materials needed for demonstrations and solidarity stands.
So please come grab a delicious Palestinian vegan dinner and have a chat with us about the Palestinian cause!
We look forward to meeting you!

Monday 6 March, Thursday 23 February 2023 , ROSA benefit events, Volkseten Vegazulu. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

We are part of ROSA (Radical Organisation of Students in Amsterdam), a radical leftist student organization at UvA, and we are launching a week of action for international women’s day. We are setting up a donation drive for menstrual products and funds, with all proceeds going to ASKV. ASKV is an organization that provides legal assistance and social support to rejected refugees in the Netherlands. Undocumented refugees are often caught in an impossible position: being unable to return to their country of origin while lacking access to social security, education, and employment in the Netherlands. Undocumented refugees often end up on the margins of society, vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. The funds we collect with our benefit dinner will go directly to menstrual products.

Cinema Italia: The Seduction of Mimi (Lina Wertmüller, 1972)

By: börek - March 3rd, 2023  Filed under: Filmavond

Sunday 5th March 2023, The Seduction of Mimi [Mimì metallurgico ferito nell’onore] * Directed by Lina Wertmüller * 125 min * In Italian with English subtitles * doors open at 20:00, film starts at 20:30. After the film, please engage and share comments, ideas, and inspiration with the host(s) of the evening!

Mimì (Giancarlo Giannini) is a man raised in Sicily, where you have to compromise with the mafia to have a job. Far from being a classic hero, he expresses almost hyper-realistically the prototype of toxic masculinity from the South. He moves to Turin so to stay loyal to his principles, vaguely revolutionary.
Fiore (Mariangela Melato) is a working class woman from Milan who is hoping to find her way in life. The meeting-contrast between the two comrades is iconically depicting the differences between North and South, the contradictions of the Left, the role of the Partito Comunista Italiano. In the background, an Italy under siege of violence by terrorism in the streets of industrial and university cities like Milan or Turin.
Lina Wertmüller was the first female director to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director ever. Her gentle touch, expressed by the colours and music of the soundtrack, results in a unique dreamy palette that became her cinematic signature.
This film screens as the female protagonist a fascinating Mariangela Melato, who passed ten years ago. She incarnated a new model of Italian female beauty, in contrast with Sofia Loren and Gina Lollobrigida. Fiore is one of her most famous interpretation.

Film night at Joe’s Garage, cozy cinema! Free entrance. You want to screen a movie, let us know: joe [at] lists [dot] squat [dot] net

Monday 20 February 2023, Benefit Voku for The Senegalese Association in Palermo. The anti-authoritarian collective Ajo Negro is cooking, food served from 7pm, no reservation.

The Senegalese Association in Palermo is a social and cultural space run by the Senegalese community. It has a small community kitchen in Piazza Sette Fate, in the Ballarò neighbourhood, where the community regularly self-organise social dinners for friends and neighbours. This is one of the few self-organised, self-funded spaces in the city of Palermo, run by the migrant community and it has been existing for over 25 years. Also the Baye Fall movement is active in the space, organising cultural and political events around their anti-colonial struggles. During the months of Ramadan, instead of fasting, the Baye Fall crew cooks free meals for those fasting, so that they can break the fasting all together every day of the month.
The kitchen and the bathroom really need some renovation. As there is no institutional fundings supporting the space, they are asking friends and collectives around the world to support them with small donations to fix the space before the spring! Come to eat delicious vegan food!
