-Wednesday, August 3rd, courtyard film screening of "Machines in Flames" (2022, 50 min.) gate at 7:30pm + W&A with Andrew at SubRosa, 703 Pacific Ave 


Machines in Flames (2022, 50min) is a cinematic search for the elusive group CLODO, who bombed computer companies in 1980s Toulouse, France. Journeying through the cybernetic nodes of military, industrial, and socialist development, the film exposes how recording devices fail to collect the ashes of history. The film combines archival traces, a viral desktop choreography, and paranoid footage of nocturnal stakeouts into a philosophical investigation of self-combustion. The film is the debut work of the Destructionist International, and the first in a series of films on the appetite for abolition in ultra-leftism. It was first distributed through a network of self-erasing USB data sticks dropped outside corporate campuses. https://machinesinflames.com/

https://freeskoolsantacruz.wordpress.com/ )

Location: SubRosa Courtyard, 703 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA


Description: In this reading group we are exploring political theory in two senses of the word "radical". First we are looking at texts that are from of the edges of contemporary political theory – feminist care, black anarchism, autonomous zones, anonymity, abolition – ideas of politics and the political that are original, that defy convention, and that challenge our notions of what is acceptable to say, do or think. The second sense is one that takes seriously the origins of the word "radical", suggesting "roots" or the hidden networks underground that both give strength to the foundations of political activity, and that draw into it the necessary elements for flourishing. We will be looking at contemporary works of political theory that seek to transform the world from the (under)ground up. 


Each week we'll read one short book and have a discussion facilitated by our small collective. Everything we'll read has been published in the last two years, giving us a chance to engage in a diverse collection of new ideas about how we change the world.


Please contact in advance to find out more about the reading group and to get our reading list! – gabrielmindel@gmail.com


Materials: We'll be reading a short book every week. It's highly encouraged that folks get a hard copy of the books, most of which cost about $15 new.

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.
