Radical Events Listings - Call For Submissions

Hi

This is a callout for submissons for the first London Blacklist - its objective is simple and stems from the successful and effective De Blacklist Amsterdam : - to draw together as many of the political, social and academic activity of London’s radical hubs into a single document to use at your disposal. You can print it as an A5 Booklet from this pdf (if the Blacklist obtains the means to print and distribute itself it will) or keep it open in your tabs to refer back to as the month progresses. Hopefully it will, over time, become less of a newly-formed informative aquaintance and more of a close, essential and informative comrade.
Struggles can be strengthened when they form part of a network. There is a need for the radical nexus of London to organise, unify and solidify its actions to help express itself coherently, further than single-squat text-trees and activist-mouth-to-activist-mouth. Though limited to the email addresses it can contact, hopefully the Blacklist will be forwarded and spread outside of intimate, pre-established circles to build on attendance to and affinity with its contents.


The challenge now is to get enough data for the first few issues, to enable the Blacklist to flourish and begin to feed itself. Please help! Just email any events happening during May that you would like to see promoted and where they are. The venue will be placed on a London map and events included in the listings.

Deadline is 25TH APRIL 2012 // email is  BLACKLISTLONDON@RISEUP.NET

Good idea

I like this idea - we tried to do something similar in our town a while ago, but not being a big place it didn't work out too well... where will the Blacklist be available when it's done?

The Spectre


reinvent the wheel?

Similar projects were already existing in London. Let's not forget why they failed. How to keep up with such a project on the long term and avoid the same mistakes?

Zines, printed materials like Blacklist, Usurpa, Stressfaktor are always useful on a local level, but not only on a local level. Being visible on-line is also determinant. Nowadays, there are other tools than PDF files to be visible on-line. What about an on-line agenda, with events classified by dates? What about an iCalendar?

Radar [ http://radar.squat.net/] will soon provide an iCal. Demosphere is already on it [ http://code.demosphere.eu/]. On these two pages, you can see in a few clicks what is happening in various Europeans countries.

Where and how to get your info for your zine, your on-line calendar? Is the community filling up itself your agenda or are you gonna take the huge task to do it within your collective? Will you have always enough people for that?

With Radar, the community is filling up the agenda/database itself. DIY and events never stops coming in. The printer-friendly option offered by Radar would be a useful tool for a collective like Blacklist London. Other cities are already using it. Once all events are entered in the database, you may get your blacklist/usurpa of the week/month in one single click.

In solidarity!
