information, discussion and film night around the zapatista hystory - 20- and where this movement for the indigenous right and demand to "rule" themselves is heading to at the moment - 10-. how can we in the northern city learn from the reality indigenous people are building in their rural,town and city autonomous comunities in chiapas and in mexico. what is autonomy? why?

During the end of 2003 and the beginning of 2004, the 20th year aniversary since the EZLN (National Liberation Zapatista Army) was founded and 10th year aniversary since the beginning of the struggle was celebrated in the Zapatista Autonomous Lands, in Mexico and in the rest of the world.

Through discussions and debates, civil societies in Mexico and around the world have tried to understand what really happend in the rebel territories of Chiapas and how the creation of the 'buen govierno', where the people who govern obey the will of their people, has changed indigenous lives.

Come and celebrate the aniversary, join the debate on the zapatista strugle, regain understanding of who the zapatistas really are.

During the evening tasty vegan food will be served at 8pm (£1 solidarity price) and a 2 hour video showing 20 years of zapatista history will be screened at 8:30 pm, followed by debates on the reality of their life and their version of Autonomy.
