STILL ♥ING ACTIVISM Festival in Wien

EN:
One week of fireworks of emancipator practice and theory. From people, initiatives and projects that want make conditions against racist, sexist and antisemitic 'normal being' dance. Repression wants to intimidate and make invisible not us only.  But the desire for a mutually supportive interaction lets suppress itself through either through prisons, deportation and "safe areas", or prohibition to beg or other seemingly moral actions.
Fight Repression! Love Activism!

DE:
Eine Woche Feuerwerk emanzipativer Praxen und Theorien. Von Menschen, Initiativen und Projekten, die die Verhältnisse gegen den rassistischen, sexistischen und antisemitischen “Normalzustand” zum Tanzen bringen wollen. Repression will, nicht nur uns, einschüchtern und unsichtbar machen. Doch das Begehren nach einem solidarischen Miteinander lässt sich weder durch Gefängnisse, Abschiebungen und “Schutzzonen”, noch Bettelverbote oder andere scheinmoralische Maßnahmen unterdrücken.
Fight Repression! Love Activism!
