Lecturer: Yifat Doron

In July 2020, the political activist Yifat Doron began serving the prison sentence that was sentenced to her following a solidarity action with the Palestinian popular struggle.

Lecture: "[Like] A Bird in a Cage"

Lecturer: Yossi Wolfson

The taming and destruction of nature, the confinement, and exploitation of animals - sometimes they only serve as a metaphor for the tyranny of humans over humans. But what does an anti-authoritarian spirit have to say about these phenomena in themselves? In this meeting, we will try to see our social fabric as crossing the boundaries of the species "homo-sapiens" and the systems of power and control we are a part of. Where are the liberation teachings of the left relevant to a multi-species society? And where are they challenged? Yossi Wolfson, activist for animal liberation- including humans.

Panel: "From the A to the Political - Punk, Politics and Activism in Israel"

Moderator: Dana Yair. Participants: Ishay Berger, Afrin Bonstein, Barak Mayer, Arkadi Maidanik

The punk scene in Israel has always had a complex relationship with the political. On one hand a desire for a different, more egalitarian and accepting environment within a complicated reality, and on the other hand a constant desire to stay away and escapism. How to deal with questions of safe and protected space, gender equality, drugs, animal rights, military recruitment and the occupation.

Lecturer: Nimrod Halpern

A conversation about the famous essay of anti-technology fighter Ted Kaczynski, “Industrial Society and its Future”, why he decided to translate it into Hebrew, about his correspondence with Kaczynski from prison, and how he did not heed the warning which appears in the manifesto itself: Don’t let other struggles distract us from the fight against technology.
