  Leeds, UK : A-Spire alive again !

 


Aspire, Leeds’ occasioanl squat venue for gigs, cafe, parties, radical films, arty space and all manner of other cool things that the corporate world denies us is back for a fourth bout of smart stuff.

This coming Saturday, 20th April, it opens at noon with the cafe, creative art workshops and healing workshops. From 5pm there’s a bunch of radical films, from 10pm till who knows when it goes mental with a floor of psychedelic trrance, a flor of dub and a massive and beautiful chillout room.

On the Sunday, given that everyone will need something cosy after Saturday night, there’s a screening of Dougal & The Blue Cat, a feature-length film Magic Roundabout.

Then from 5pm there’s acoustic cabaret, which last time was frankly the best one of that sort of thing I’ve ever seen. This one features the return of Captin Hotknives and a rare live performance from Slumberwall. It’s also open mic, so feel free to get up and do your thang too.

Then from Wednesday there’s a more ongoing Aspire opening, with cafe, films, workshops, music, direct action, radical book/record fair, etc, etc.

Check out the website at http://www.a-spire.org.ukand click on ‘Aspire IV’.

Exact location will be on the site Friday, or if you fill in your email address in the little box at the site, you’ll get a message as soon as it’s released. It’s gonna be somewhere near Leeds centre.

see ya there, then?

live your love,

Ladronka (Praha) evicted

 

  Ladronka (Praha) evicted

 


The Prague squat LADRONKA is being evicted. Police arrived Thursday morning November 9 at 7:00 am. Currently, there are four people on the roof and four have been arrested. It looks as if they will be charged with using unregistered electricity and telephone. It is strongly believed that this eviction comes in the wake of the recent protest in Prague of the IMF and World Bank annual meetings. With the new police legitimacy incurred in the public opinion, they appear to be attempting to repress activism in the Czech Republic. There 30 people already supporting squatters from outside Ladronka and more are coming.

Any assistance you may be able to provide is requested. Solidarity actions are welcomed. Contact zemepredevsim [at] ecn [dot] cz
