-Newsletter details
Anti-fascist Culture (Athens, Thessaloniki & beyond)
- We took the name Antifascist Culture to mark our stance
and opted for member anonymity to ensure that whatever
we did would not become ‘cultural capital’. We wanted to
register collective resistance in the cultural field in advance
of the fascist effect. Anti-fascism would be low-fi political
education: a means to stand against dominant ideology in
the circumstances faced in Greece.

We TBD (Los Angeles)
Von Curtis, Olga Koumoundouros, Francesca Lalane, Kristy
Lovich, Ofelia Marquez, Jennifer Moon
- The Newsletter hasn’t been distributed yet due to Covid-19
sheltering in place orders. The plan was for me to print
out at LA County DPH (Department of Public Healt) office
using their photocopier. But DPH pivoted quickly to address
public health issues. Leadership was called in, copiers were
in use more than usual and all staff except for leadership
was asked to work from home, this included my position. I
should have gone to a copy center and paid, but my mind
was on coping with impact of disease since schools were
closed, then my Dad got sick and died. The community
centers and art venues where we’d planned to distribute
the newsletter remain closed. We intended this newsletter
to be read in hand and have not looked into online platforms
to distribute. We welcome any suggestions on how to
proceed.

- We are a disparate and dispersed group of readers and activists
connected through The Field, a social centre in London,
and an interest in the politics of working collectively.
We aim to distribute hardcopies of this publication in various
