What form should anarchism take in the 21st century? What relevance does the last 150 years of anarchist history have? What's the difference between anarchism and anarcho-syndicalism? What do anarchist ideas have to offer in light of the current economic and climate crises? What about the tensions between employment, unemployment, and re-employment? Come and consider these questions with us (and raise more) at the first of a series of Jura Talks - Left Libertarian Discussions. Our first talk is on 'Anarchism in the 21st Century'. Sid Parissi will give a half hour presentation, and then there will be political discussion for an hour or so. Hope you can join the conversation.

A new anarchist film is showing at the Spanish Film Festival - The Anarchist's Wife. Set during the harrowing years of the Spanish Civil War, this drama tells the story of one young couple?s love in the face of terrible obstacles. For more details: http://www.spanishfilmfestival.com/sydney/films_war3.html . Jura will have a book stall outside each cinema for a couple of hours before each screening.

Join us for an arvo of VEGAN high tea, popping lessons with the elegant shelly and hip-hop sounds from secret special guests!!! This shall be followed by a discussion of gender, and the subversion of gender, in hip-hop and dance.

Vegan treats are most welcome (e.g. cupcakes, jelly, choc crackles).
This event is FREE, but donations to Jura are always appreciated.

Check back for some suggested pre-readings and materials (e.g. dance moves!). These are purely for fun! Don't feel you need to read anything or have ANY dance or cooking skills to participate. ALL ages, genders, species, etc are welcome.
