Events, books, actions, jobs, needs & offers: 17th February 2022, Tea & Connections VOLKSKAMER

Intro

here are the notes from the meetup of (Amsterdam-based) connectors, hacktivists, artivists, artists, digital/humanities academics & (self-diagnosed) tech-pessimists… [0].

We had our 3rd monthly “borrel”, the most busy of all: 11 people in total showed up: Donna, Tessel, Douwe, Karla, Lotte, Risa, Emile, Maxigas, Juli, Zsolt, and myself (Vesna).

We enjoyed the low-tech, old-fashioned, informal friendly chit-chat... and it was interesting & informational, lots of inspiration & ideas, plans to follow up on...

Actions

CALL TO ACTIONS:
  • subscribe to the mailing list, if you want to be emailed with updates! https://lists.ghserv.net/mailman/listinfo/17-meetings
  • join us next times: 17th March & 12th April (because 17th falls on Easter Sunday..).
  • volunteer needed to help organising: choose the location & help spread the word, take notes, make tea…

To start with, we’ve learned history of our meetup location [1] : Volkskamer, ex Oostade theatre (now moved to CC Amstel), and a woongroup - one of the rare remains of the squatters movement in Amsterdam [2].

We’ve shared with each other job openings & volunteer positions & other opportunities; events of interest; books we’ve published & read; workshops we’ve attended. We’ve brainstormed about the locations for the next 2 events — preferably somewhere new each time (the list is on the wiki & “radar” too!).

I’ll just type in some of the things we’ve shared — if I’ve missed YOUR contribution, please send it to the list (especially Karla, Zsolt & Tessel).

Hope to see you soon!

(stay safe & stay in solidarity, in these literal & symbolically stormy times!)

Ciao, Vesna
