This Friday (10th), the rampART hosts a benefit night organised by the Basque Country Campaign Solidarity for Inigo Makazaga, a young Basque imprisoned in Belmarsh.

On Saturday (11th), the rampART hosts an event aimed at looking back at the 2001 G8 summit in Genoa. While around the country people are preparing for massive popular opposition to the G8 summit taking place in Scotland in July, saturdays event offers a chance to share experiences with people who took part in the protests against the G8 in 2001.

"300.000 people were protesting in july 2001 against the g8 in Genoa: the collective dream 'another world is possible' turned into a nightmare overwhelmed by the violence by the police, finding it's climax in the murder of Carlo Giuliani."

What happened in Genoa? Why did it happen? Could it have been avoided or handled better? What does any of this mean for us this July? What precautions and preparation should we be making and are we!? These are just some of the possible valuable questions we can discuss on Saturday.
