There has been a growing alliance between Islamism and neoliberalism in Turkey especially since 2002. This alliance has severe consequences for women: high unemployment rate, flexible and insecure jobs, dependence on the family, increased control over women's bodies and a meteoric rise in male violence and domestic murders. The presentation deals with the possibility of a socialist feminist opposition to this new form of patriarchal capitalism and discusses the achievements and shortcomings of socialist feminist activism in Turkey.
first of all;we stoped organizing events in April, because the satus of Tuzrakter became entirely unsure and our public events got more and more disturbed first by municipality people, later by the pigs too.
despite we did our best to save the building, finally we lost it; Tuzrakter got evicted at the last week of August.
But we are still here :)

20.OO : Noise and Resistance (Julia Ostertag and Francesca Araiza Andrade, 87 min, 2011)
plot: There are other ways. Commerce, capital, and consumption are by no means irrevocable necessities in today's world. In their angry and rousing documentary "Noise and Resistance", Francesca Araiza Andrade and Julia Ostertag show that those who think so are not alone in this opinion. What some would describe as mere din and nuisance, they prove to be a vital articulation of resistance :
Here punk is neither a passing fad nor a dusted relic from the past but the lively expression of an attitiude towards life.
The directors enter the centres of a vivid and vibrant, a rebellious and self-conscious scene. Be it squatters in Barcelona, anti-fascists in Moscow, Dutch trade unionists, the activists of England's Crass collective, queer trailer park inhabitants in Berlin, or Swedish girl punk bands, their music always expresses a collective self-assertion, a No! set to music whose slogan : Do it yourself! has become a strident 21st century "International".
"Noise and Resistance" is an inspiring journey through Europe's contemporary utopia, to subcultural places of desire where unity derives from autonomy along with the best punk sound you've heard for years.
21.45 skype discussion with director, Julia Ostertag.

Gasland (documentary screening)
time : 20.OO place: Fogashaz, Akacfa street 51
Gasland (Josh Fox, 2010)
Can you light your water on fire?
'It is happening all across America - rural landowners wake up one day to find a lucrative offer from an energy company wanting to lease their property. Reason? The company hopes to tap into a reservoir dubbed the "Saudi Arabia of natural gas." Halliburton developed a way to get the gas out of the ground-a hydraulic drilling process called "fracking"...' /
A powerful reminder that the USA not only exploits other countries, peoples and parts of the world to keep its unsustainable economy afloat, but its own citizens too.
The technology shown in the film might just have some relevance to the recent earthquake on the east coast of the United States.
And yes, they do set tapwater on fire.

place: Fogashaz, Akacfa street 51
Fisrt Earth(David Sheen, 2009, 87 min)
First Earthis a documentary about the movement towards a massive paradigm shift for shelter -- building healthy houses in the old ways, out of the very earth itself, and living together like in the old days, by recreating villages. It is a sprawling film, shot on location from the West Coast to West Africa. An audiovisual manifesto filmed over the course of 4 years and 4 continents, FIRST EARTH makes the case that earthen homes are the healthiest housing in the world; and that since it still takes a village to raise a healthy child, it is incumbent upon us to transform our suburban sprawl into eco-villages, a new North American dream.

Anarchism and Anthropology (lecture by Fredie Schulze)
time : 20.OO
place: Fogashaz, Akacfa street 51
Anthropology is well suited not only to a study of humankind's anarchic potentials but also its anarchic
practices. David Graeber, perhaps the most renowned and one of the very few self-described anarchist
anthropologists, explains that it is precisely the anthropological opinion that no social form is inevitable
and all are fully contingent on circumstance, practice and meaning that puts anthropology in the unique
position to both find and explain anarchic social practice in diverse sociocultural milieus. Moreover,
social and cultural anthropology's long-held commitment to ethnographic fieldwork priviledges
an inductive (built-up) view of human organization that, by its own logical foundation, cannot
see the state as an durable and necessary pinnacle of complex political societies precisely because
the complexity of 'society' and 'politics' is itself a living negotiation of practices and agents whose
outcomes are only estimable but never determinable. Building from his research on labor radicalism
in Serbia, Northern Ireland, and China, Frederick Schulze emphasizes the close and necessary
relationship of anthropological studies and anarchist philosophy and activism.
