Bristol and the SW has squats, radical spaces and more - why not get them zined on the map? international solidarity actions for autonomous spaces, 11-12th April 2008.

Call for articles...

...for zines to be distributed on the days of international solidarity actions for autonomous spaces, 11-12th April 2008.

We are gathering articles written by individuals/collectives of autonomous projects. The articles will be uploaded and translated on the homepage of the april2008 project. There people can select, download and compile them into their own DIY newspapers or zines.

Some practicalities... Send the articles in plain text format (preferably not pdf format). Send your articles to:
april2008-zine@squat.net

The deadline is mid-February to give people enough time to produce and distribute the zines during the action days. You can write in your mother tongue and in other secondary languages.

Translations will and can be made on the wiki of the homepage. We would like people to help translating to have as many translations of each article as possible.

If you send photos: high-quality jpegs (high resolution) then please don’t send too many at a time.

We hope to see a diversity of articles. One aim is to include other places than the ones who usually get the attention. We would like it if you try to be critical to your own squats.

Some questions which we hope will interest you as much as they interest us:

How do you feel that things have changed lately? How are times changing and effecting your project? How is it connected to social movements? History of squatting in your region; everything from housing, local community, national politics, to the EU; everything from houses, wagenburgs, to land squatting.

If you want to make a fanzine download the articles you like, make it in whatever style you like and when you´ve finished your april2008 newspaper, you can (scan and) e-mail it back to us, so that we can upload it for others to see, to print and to spread.

If you want to publicly announce your planned actions for april2008 send it to us ´cause we will put together an agenda to be spread around the internet and to download as printable pdf. Write ‘AGENDA’ in the subject box. APRIL2008.SQUAT.NET
