The Zapatistas are coming to The Netherlands!
Find out how you can join and/or support the political cause of those brave Mexican women. Fashion is one of the possibilities.
As you might have heard, a Zapatista delegation is now in Europe in a tour which is called “Viaje Por La Vida (Journey for Life)”. The objective of this Zapatista “Journey for Life” is to have “meetings, dialogues, exchanges of ideas and experiences with all of those who are committed, from different perspectives and fronts to the struggle for life”, that is, to fight against capitalism, heteropatriarchy, racism, imperialism, colonialism, and other violent systems that destroy life.
A small group of Zapatista members left Mexico in April this year and set sail to Spain, 500 years after the supposed conquest of the “New World”. A second group “La Extemporánea” arrived on the 14th of September in Vienna, Austria. They come to listen, to share stories of struggles, but also experiences of radical practices of autonomy and building other possible worlds.
We are excited to welcome a group of Zapatistas to visit The Netherlands, coming from the diverse autonomous indigenous communities in Chiapas, Mexico. They will be in The Netherlands from the 12th of October to (maybe) the 4th of November. There will be activities happening in various cities of the country, including Den Haag (and ISS)! They will also visit other Dutch cities such as Dordrecht, Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Enschede, Rotterdam, etc. In The Hague they will be around the 26-27th of October for 2-3 days.
The rebellious Zapatista voice
The Zapatistas are in Europe to listen and hear from all of us from below and to the left, but are also here to share their stories and struggles with us. They will speak about 5 topics on their history, struggles, organizing, and sowing seeds of rebellion.
Join us in Amsterdam to hear them, and have some moments for a question and answer session with the compas.
Kindly sign up for one of these dates. The events and discussions for all dates will be the same.
