Austria - Anarchist Summer-Camp 2016
Waar: Northern Lower Austria, Netherlands
Wanneer: 12/08/2016 - 15:42 t/m 21/08/2016 - 15:42
The anarchist camp 2016 aims to bring together people and to strengthen the cooperation within the left and anarchist movement across borders. An alternative society free of domination cannot be simply learned from books – it has to be tried out in real life. The camp can enable experiences with self-organisation, open up new perspectives for how to live together, and inspire ideas for new projects. A collective engagement with critical thought and praxis also encourages questioning our own actions and behaviours.
We want to create a central interface for bringing together different fights and movements against everyday forms of racism, sexism, and exploitation. Our goal is to build up a network for cooperation and action that lasts longer than the camp itself. You neither need to
be part of a political scene nor know anything about theory to participate at the A-Camp. Everybody who identifies with emancipatory and anti-authoritarian ideas is invited.
What there is and what it can be
The A-Camp is no “vacation” in its common understanding. “Vacation” implies a separation between
work and leisure. We do not want to regenerate our labour power, but to collectively shape our life without
restraints. We want to fill anarchist theory with a solidary practice in everyday routines as much as in
discussions, workshops and while we get to know each other.
The camp takes place on the premises of a farm collective with several meadows, a small river and a
fireplace. Besides ample of space for tents we will also be able to use some of the indoor rooms (others will
stay off-limit). We will cook together in a way that everybody can eat: we will cook vegan and be considerate
of people with allergies or breastfeeding mothers. We find it especially important to put our aspirations into
practice. If we all deal with the daily chores (shopping, cooking, cleaning…) together and distribute them fairly,
each and every one of us will only need to spend little time with them. We would also like to create something
together with our hosts that will stay after the camp in order to thank them for providing the campgrounds.
