Screening of the documentary Anti-authoritarians at War followed by a discussion with the director, Nico Dix, and a representative from Solidarity Collectives.
Wednesday 15 April at 8.30 pm in Perugia, Cinema Méliès – Via della Viola, 1
The Anti-Authoritarian Alliance will be present at the upcoming edition of the International Journalism Festival in Perugia, alongside our comrade from the Solidarity Collectives. We will take part in this public forum in order to share directly with those in attendance the experience developed by comrades in Ukraine: a concrete practice of solidarity, resistance, and grassroots organization within a context of war—far removed both from state-driven rhetoric and from the ideological simplifications that too often circulate even within our own political milieus.
For us, it is particularly significant to bring this voice into a context such as the Perugia festival, which represents one of the foremost public arenas for discussion on information and contemporary conflicts. We therefore extend our thanks to those who made this participation possible, for a choice we consider far from obvious. We are fully aware of the climate of attacks and superficial protests that have accompanied the organization of our recent initiatives and that may well accompany this invitation. These attempts at delegitimization are familiar to us and, once again, underscore the necessity of opening spaces for direct expression—beyond the distortions of sterile polemics and the constraints of ideological technicism that ignores present historical conditions, as well as the other different contexts in which many comrades—today often celebrated even by our detractors—made their own choices.
We will be there to speak, to engage, and to confront perspectives. Not to represent anyone from above, but to convey real practices and lived trajectories emerging from the contradictions of our time.
See you in Perugia.
