Aujourd'hui je partage une conversation avec le cinéaste Jean-Philippe Marquis à propos du film Silvicola. Diffusion sur CKUT 90.3 FM le vendredi 22 mars à 18h à l'émission Café. Merci à Esther Bourdages pour l'ouverture afin de partager cette conversation.
"Situé dans les forêts et les rivages accidentés de la Colombie-Britannique, Silvicola est un tableau du réseau complexe de forces culturelles et économiques qui contraignent et limitent les pratiques forestières modernes. Une histoire racontée à travers les yeux d’un mélange éclectique de personnages dont les vies et les moyens de subsistance sont intimement liés à la forêt. Contemplatif et sensoriellement immense, Silvicola plonge le spectateur dans des espaces et des sites de travail éloignés, normalement cachés à la vue. Un film qui exige de repenser les divisions entre les mondes naturel et industriel en mettant en lumière le travail et les logiques cachés de la sylviculture moderne."

En lucha por la justicia territorial, de México a Palestina
Radio Nopal x Radio Nopal
Diseño por Susanna Gonzo
Llevaremos a cabo un panel de discusión en vivo en Radio Nopal, en la colonia San Rafael de la Ciudad de México, sobre las interconexiones entre luchas por la tierra y el territorio desde México hasta Palestina.
Mientras continúa la violencia militar genocida contra el pueblo palestino en Gaza, es fundamental que encontremos formas de compartir información sobre las realidades palestinas a través de las fronteras y, al mismo tiempo, explorar las profundas interconexiones entre las luchas anticoloniales actuales.
En muchas formas culturales, y desde hace más de 500 años, los pueblos indígenas de la Isla Tortuga continúan resistiendo la violencia colonial. Esta transmisión tiene como objetivo resaltar las luchas contemporáneas por #LandBack en México y las formas en que estas luchas en México están inherentemente conectadas con la lucha palestina por la libertad.
El arte y la expresión cultural son una herramienta clave a través de la cual las personas que luchan por la libertad articulan visiones de nuevos mundos moldeados por sueños de territorios liberados de la violencia del neoliberalismo y la colonización, más allá de los horizontes coloniales.
Con las voces de: Ángel Aguilera, CERRUCHA, Romina Hernandez, Beatriz Paz Jiménez, Ana Rosa (BDS Mexico) y Alf Bojórquez -

This mix draws from a live recording of the Silver Moon X album launch that took place at the Mercerie performance space in Brussels, Belgium in October 2023. For this set I mixed in excerpts from the live set with Julia E. Dyck and also an opening ambient set by Jean Grünewald (Ottoman Grüw). For the live set in Brussels, which you hear, Julia and I played a Moog synthesizer, bells, while also reading texts from our first album, I also incorporated synth created by my brother Jordan Christoff. For this radio mix I included tracks created by friends around the world and shared over recent months, including many artists that I have collaborated with for broadcasts on Radio AlHara in Palestine, or around community arts initiatives in Montreal. Also I included a couple of tracks that were just excellent. Thank you for listening. – Stefan Christoff.

Listen to a conversation with author Mark Bray speaking about the recently released book "The Anarchist Inquisition: Assassins, Activists, and Martyrs in Spain and France." The book is described this way:
"The Anarchist Inquisition explores the groundbreaking transnational human rights campaigns that emerged in response to a brutal wave of repression unleashed by the Spanish state to quash anarchist activities at the turn of the twentieth century. Mark Bray guides readers through this tumultuous era—from backroom meetings in Paris and torture chambers in Barcelona, to international antiterrorist conferences in Rome and human rights demonstrations in Buenos Aires.
Anarchist bombings in theaters and cafes in the 1890s provoked mass arrests, the passage of harsh anti-anarchist laws, and executions in France and Spain. Yet, far from a marginal phenomenon, this first international terrorist threat had profound ramifications for the broader development of human rights, as well as modern global policing, and international legislation on extradition and migration."
