Τhe program of the 13th Antiracist Festival of the Sunday School of Immigrants and the Deport Racism Movement

Πρόσφατα

The 13th Antiracist Festival of the Sunday School of Immigrants and the Deport Racism Movement will take place at the weekend of 15-16 June at the School of Fine Arts (256 Piraeus Av.). It is a great meeting of coexistence and solidarity, of unity and common struggle of Greeks, refugees and immigrants, where there will be concerts, talks, photo and sketch exhibitions, screenings, shows, playground, international cuisine and many more.

In this year’s festival we are attempting to help the refugees’ voices be heard. The voice of the refugees who are drowning in the Aegean Sea, imprisoned in the shameful hot spots, suffering the ramifications of the racist EU – Turkey agreements. The voice of the most “privileged” refugees who managed to escape the state of being hostage on the islands and are trying not to get kicked out of the flats or camps of the mainland. The voice of those who are confronting the repression forces in Diavata, in Larissa station, everywhere they are prevented from travelling to their destinations in Europe. We unite our voices with those of the immigrants, who are always seen as “illegal” in advance, who, even in the case they have lived in Greece for many consecutive years, have great difficulties to continue getting the resident permit, or obtain citizenship for their children.

In the 13th Antiracist Festival we talk about the struggle against the far right. About the resistance to the barbaric practices of Salvini, which the solidarity rescuers at the sea between Italy and Libya have to deal with. About our response to the rise of nationalism and the imperialist alliances of Greece. About the old and new fascist organisations who, disguised as “Macedonian zealots” are trying to make the reappearance of militia in the streets possible again. We unite our voice with those of the victims or racist attacks in the centres of cities and in schools, where fascists and xenophobic groups are trying to deprive children of their right to basic education. Among the multiple elections of May and the forthcoming National Elections, in tandem with the Golden Dawn trial which is coming to an end soon, we will try to assess the dynamics of fascist and far right parties in Greece as well as in Europe. We will initiate the conversation with social and political comprades, about the common front we must create against war, poverty, and fascism.

In the 13th Antiracist Festival, activists against sexism and women repression, activists from lgbtqi movements, get together to talk about the ways and to find allies in our struggle for social emancipation and equality, in every sector of our life. In the aftermath of great international events, as the 8th of March, we will seek the causes of the increase of violence against women, murders of women, and murderous homophobic attacks. We will seek ways for the rape victims to find justice, for the elimination of sexist laws which acquit the rapists. For the full recognition of gender identity in all sectors of our life. For equality in the work environment and the demand for a social state which will free pregnant women, mothers, and women workers from the burdens that in the years of memoranda cuts and austerity have made their lives unbearable. On 15 and 16 June, we’ll be waiting for you in the School of Fine Arts, in the 13th Antiracist Festival. In a festival of emancipation and free expression, where we are working for the fine coexistence of sound, colours, and flavours. For a life without compromises, achieved through solidarity with no exceptions!
