From Chiapas, Mexico, a delegation of zapatistas are visiting Europe, or Slumil K’ajxemk’op which means 'Tierra Insumisa' (unsubmissive land), to give a message about life.

During their 'Travesia por la vida' (Journey of Life) in Czech Republic, they will come to D-Zóna to have an informal group discussion.

The starting topic will be life itself. 

The space is limited.

Discussion will be in English, with translation in Spanish for the EZLN guests.

We continue reading 'Lifestyle politics and radical Activism' by Laura Portwood-Stacer.
The book explores how radical anarchist activists position their own lifestyles within projects of resistance. Various lifestyle practices, from consumption to personal style to sexual relationships, are studied to address how identity and cultural practices can be used as tools of political dissent.

In this second meeting of the reading group for this book, we will discuss:

The Critical Readings book reading club starts a new book. This time the text covers several topics under the umbrella of social activism. It examines how collective social movements have cultivated individual practices of 'lifestyle politics'.

Sometimes in April is Raoul Peck's movie about the Rwandan genocide of 1994 which follows the story of Augustin Muganza, a Hutu military officer married to a Tutsi woman. The story alternates between years 1994 when the genocide happened and 2004 when Augustin is attending a subsequent trial.

Raoul Peck is a Haitian film maker and politician known for historical—political movies. He also directed the movies Lumumba (2000) and The Young Karl Marx (2017) which we screened earlier this July and August, respectively.

The event has been canceled (will likely happen in October).

Film screening and discussion at Kampus Hybernská. The movie is screened in Hungarian, with English subtitles.

In this meeting, the collective will have a public assembly, where anyone is welcome to come and listen, and talk about:

• D-Zona's past, present and future.
• New activities proposed by the collective
• Activities proposals from anyone interested in collaborating.
• Issues, improvements, problems to address.

Anyone is welcome to come and get involved in the organization and decision-making progress.

Operación Ogro (Operation Ogre) was the codename for ETA’s plan to assasinate Luis Carrero Blanco, the prime minister of Spain in 1973. Blanco was selected as a successor of Francesco Franco who came to power after a 1936 coup d'état and was responsible for tens of thousands killed and tortured. As the bombing happened two years before Franco’s death, it could have both contributed to Spain’s transformation towards electoral democracy as well as started a spiral of violence between ETA and the state…

Alejandro Jodorowsky takes every form of religion and mysticism and puts it into symbolic imagery, that turns into a two hour mind trip, drawing its inspirations from Christian Iconology, Tarot, Latin American History, futurism, mysticism, politics, astrology in a combination to strange images that correlate together into a difficult to decipher theme.

The Holy Mountain gives an omniscient view of what social engineering caused by greed has done to the modern world, but shows us how to live and not give in to a material world. 

When the Zapatista National Liberation Army took over five towns and 500 ranches in southern Mexico the 1st of January of 1993, the government deployed its troops and at least 145 people died in the ensuing battle.

But Comandante Marcos knew how to play the political game by using the media circus to his advantage, using the Internet too, where the Zapatistas were able to communicate their revolutionary ideas to the world.

Since then, the community has resisted and they keep their autonomy till today.
