Rojava is an autonomous territory claimed by Kurdish forces in Northern Syria. They have held this area since 2012, fighting against ISIS and the Syrian regime. About 4.5 million people reside in Rojava, and it is organized in a system of democratic confederalism. The three main principles are ecology, feminism, and democracy.

-Tuesday, Jan. 29th, 7:30pm:  Mouthguard Reading with Sadie Dupuis and Others

Cactus Bloom Collective presents...

*Sadie Dupuis reading from Mouthguard Dupuis (from the band Speedy Ortiz) is releasing a book of poetry called Mouthguard "The poems in Sadie Dupuis' Mouthguard are a means of developing a deep personal mythology; to read them is to feel what self-discovery is, and then recognize it in the rearview mirror, disappearing over the broken American horizon. They emerge from the place where known experience and the unknown collide; a borderline we all cross on the way to becoming ourselves." http://gramma.press/bookshop/mouthguard/?fbclid=IwAR0qqD8wSO1T9sY3gUiayXlbBHqU1OOu_kqae5jd6vLMmxhqkMa9xzhy798

Comments on the SubRosa website are fully moderated. As a collective, we agreed that the purpose of the website was to promote SubRosa, not to provide an online place for lively and invigorating debate. We hope that the space itself is where conversations on the nature of anarchism and local projects will take place. That said, we occasionally approve comments that are informative or reflect a viewpoint we feel it is important for website visitors to read.
