Join us for at our monthly First Thursday late night with free vegan soup prepared by Seeds to Feeds. The event is a small offering to Enjoy’s communities, working towards equity.
This time our open late night is accompanied by the launch of The Physics Room's newspaper, Correspondence 3.2. This newspaper focusses on practices of solidarity, and opens opportunity to discuss the role of print media and poster culture in political and cultural activism.
To celebrate the newspaper, 5ever Books will be hosting a placard making workshop with the intention of making placards to take along to Justice for Palestine's March for the Children of Gaza on Saturday 10 August, 2pm.
This event coincides with our exhibition iMpOrTanT iNfOrMaTiOn which considers the idea of autonomy and authorship within the city, and offers insights into the current state of street activism; and Homing Instinct, a response to living in a time that requires not only redress of housing inequalities, but more expansive conceptions of housing, shelter and belonging.
Correspondence 3.2 stems from the words 'resistance', 'action', and 'solidarity'. Contributors responded to these ideas in the context of the genocide taking place in Gaza and local and global reactions to this ongoing event. Java Bentley, Ayla Collin, Juanita Hepi and Keita Newbery each relate to Palestine through a connection to whenua and through whakapapa to Papatūānuku. Protest posters in the centrefold, created by Mengzhu Fu and Huriana Kopeke-Te Aho, are designed to be removed and pasted straight onto cardboard ready to take to a Pro-Palestine rally or placed in public view.
