A dialogue on the possibilities and limitations of emancipatory feminism, from Rojava to Zapatista territory. How can feminism fight patriarchy, as well as capitalism and the state? Can we integrate examples from revolutionary struggles abroad into our own movements? What is the role of international solidarity?
Discuss these and other questions with feminists from the Kurdish solidarity movement in Paris, as well as the Zapatista solidarity movement here in the US. |

The Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society is excited to announce the release of its food policy report on Thursday, April 28 at UC Berkeley. The report outlines strategies that can facilitate more deeply engaged partnerships between UC Berkeley, the planned Berkeley Global Campus and surrounding Richmond community to realize transformational food system change.
Join us April 28, 2016
3:30 pm - 5:00 pm
MCC
This report and the event focus on questions such as: How can UC Berkeley advance food equity on- and off-campus? Is there a possibility for creating a UC Berkeley food policy council that would strengthen and improve food-related work on-campus and in local communities? And how can we, as students, staff, faculty, and community members, develop strategies around the needs of those communities most marginalized by the current food system? - See more at: http://haasinstitute.berkeley.edu/richmond-food-report-release#sthash.t5Tym2WH.dpuf

The QTPOC Conference 2016 hopes to create a space where Queer and Trans communities of color are able to share knowledge, engage in critical dialogue, and celebrate our lived experiences
This year our theme centers around:
:
QTPOC MIXTAPE: Archiving, Reclaiming, and Liberating Our Stories
"When we commit to creating movements that are accessible, we must ask ourselves a very important question: Whose story is being represented and whose is being forgotten? In our efforts to make an inclusive conference, we realized that our goal was not to create a homogenizing theme. Rather, we wanted to acknowledge and celebrate our differences. We come from different realities, and just as tracks from a mixtape tell us a story, our narratives together form our QTPOC movements. Our mixtape is resilience on a cassette tape. And we combine tracks from each of our lives to create a soundtrack for our community-led revolution. So we ask you, What is the soundtrack of our QTPOC liberation?"

Forgetting Vietnam (90 mins), has been premiered in the International Competition of the 2016 Film Festival Cinéma du Réel in Paris at the Centre Pompidou. It will show in San Francisco at :
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts
Thursday & Friday, May 12th & 13th at 7: 30 pm
701 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94103
(presentation and Q&A with filmmaker)
Vietnam in ancient times was named đất nứớc vạn xuân – the land of ten thousand springs. One of the myths surrounding the creation of Vietnam involves a fight between two dragons whose intertwined bodies fell into the South China Sea and formed Vietnam’s curving ‘S’ shaped coastline. Legend also has it that Vietnam’s ancestors were born from the union of a Dragon King, Lạc Long Quân and a fairy, Âu Cơ. Âu Cơ was a mythical bird that swallowed a handful of earthly soil and consequently lost the power to return to the 36th Heaven. Her tears formed Vietnam’s myriad rivers and the country’s recurring floods are the land’s way of remembering her. In her geo-political situation, Vietnam thrives on a fragile equilibrium between land and water management. A life-sustaining power, water is evoked in every aspect of the culture.
Shot in Hi-8 video in 1995 and in HD and SD in 2012, the images unfold spatially as a dialogue between the two elements—land and water—that underlie the formation of the term “country†(đất nứớc). Carrying the histories of both visual technology and Vietnam’s political reality, these images are also meant to feature the encounter between the ancient as related to the solid earth, and the new as related to the liquid changes in a time of rapid globalization. In conversation with these two parts is a third space, that of historical and cultural re-memory – or what local inhabitants, immigrants and veterans remember of yesterday’s stories to comment on today’s events. Through the insights of these witnesses to one of America’s most divisive wars, Vietnam’s specter and her contributions to world history remain both present and all too easy to forget. Touching on a trauma of international scale, Forgetting Vietnam is made in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the end of the war and of its survivors.
