(LAST SESSION BEFORE SUMMER BREAK)
Last year PAF introduced an additional fourth rule: “Mind Asymmetries” which has inaugurated a process of acknowledging and addressing the asymmetries circulating in the space. In order to maintain and open up this process we would like to start an online study group which will be meeting regularly on Sunday evenings (19-21h CET time).
We would like to study texts and initiatives that will help us to analyze the ways in which the colonial, imperialist, and oppressive capitalist system, in which we all operate, reproduces itself within and through PAF. We also would like to invite people who have been doing anti-racist, anti-imperialist, and social justice work and organizing to come and share with us their experience and help us question and think through alternatives for our individual and collective functioning.
We would like to rethink the ways in which life and its reproduction is organized, to think of modes of redistribution and production that would allow us to live otherwise.
This study group will run in parallel with the current experimentation in self-organisation at PAF and is meant to contribute to the unlearning and rethinking of practices and consolidated discourses.
Here is the link to the Zoom meetings:

For questions or subscriptions to the mailing list of PAF or the Asymmetry Study Group, or to get access to the materials for the sessions, please get in touch with Vanessa at contactpaf@gmail.com.
Please note that the study group is currently pausing until someone feels they can take over the responsibility to keep it running. If you are interested in continuing with this study group and would like to take the lead, please write an email to Vanessa at contactpaf@gmail.com.
