Para-siting: Spooktember
Spooktember – organized by activist publishing collective Spookstad – explores the art and politics of radical publishing: come for art, books, workshops, performances, film screenings and more!
“To create is to resist”, the more so when we do it together. During Spooktember, we invite you to explore with us the art and politics of radical publishing. Mobilizing various forms of creativity in the service of solidarity, Spooktember is a place for reimagining life in the city, the ways publishing interacts with protest and resistance, and coming together to create alternatives. For four weeks, Spooktember will be home to a radical library and reading corner, the visual art of direct action, and weekly events ranging from workshops to performances and film screenings. The art works and events are based around our publications’ topics, including squatting and the housing struggle, the pro-Palestine student uprising, and the sex workers’ struggle against the Erotic Center, and we wrap up with the very first Amsterdam Conference of Autonomous Bookmakers. Join us for a month of knowledge-sharing, collective discussion, mutual learning, and getting involved.
Spookstad is a publishing collective that emerged from the squatting movement in Amsterdam. They make books in close collaboration with various activist collectives.
