Cultural resistance: creating space for Palestine activism in our communities

Come and join us for a sharing session - we will tell you about our experience of organising cultural resistance in support of Palestine in Leipzig, and we are eager to hear from you. We are members of Artists for Cultural Freedom Leipzig. We formed after the Euro-Scene festival succumbed to pressure from Leipzig Stadt and the Sächsisches Staatsministerium für Wissenschaft, Kultur und Tourismus to cancel a theater performance by Palestinian artist Ahmed Tobasi in 2024. Our community organised to bring the performance to Leipzig and stage it independently in 2025. https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/regional/sachsen/mdr-umstrittene-palaestinensische-theater-performance-kommt-in-leipzig-auf-die-buehne-100.html Bring your experiences to share! We will talk about how we organise, how we keep the scope of our activities manageable, and how small wins keep us going, then hand over to you. Tell us about your community, your events, your achievements and your plans for fighting censorship and exclusion. Depending how many people come, we may split into smaller groups for ease of communication.

The session is interactive and experimental. We’ll look at how astrological concepts can function similarly to tools people already use: retrospectives, calendars, personality models, ...

Jujutsu (jj) is a new version control system that uses Git as its backend. Since trying it last year, it has completely replaced Git for me. It manages to be less complex than Git, while giving you more control. I think you'll like it too! Lately, when people ask me complex Git questions, my answer is often: "First, install jj…" And that's only half a joke. :P --- A few things I like about Jujutsu: There's no index, but instead you get a subcommand for splitting changes. Commits have stable ...

How can we work together to improve political decision-making processes in the long term? What do you want from democracy? Motivation: While our democracy can be shaped by the people as they wish on paper, the population seems to be largely dissatisfied with political actions: - The handling of many crises appears to be inadequate - Urgent problems seem to be postponed - Democratic participation seems tedious and ineffective Dissatisfaction mixed with these perceptions can lead to the loss of ...
