100% of proceeds from this print run will be directed to CJ Palmer via Scarlet Alliance (Australian Sex Workers Association). CJ is a trans woman & a sex worker currently being held hostage in Australian immigration detention. The money raised will give CJ access to toiletries, clothing, phone credit and other necessities.
Art by Post-Romantic Queerwave, with excerpts from Anarchist texts and letters printed on the reverse sides. Including by Aggeliki Spyropoulos, Juan Flores, Conspiracy Cells of Fire, Flower Bomb, CrimethInc & more.
I made another lino block (actually rubber not lino). Here’s a not so perfect hand pressed test print on fabric. A friend gave me some old printing ink that she had in her shed! I’ll work on it some more tomorrow.
This Thursday 5th December at Cafe Gummo! Fundraiser for the Anti-Repression Assembly (Athens). PRQW merch will be available to purchase on the night, all proceeds going to the Anti-Repression Assembly.
The Anti-Repression Assembly is a network of anarchists, refugees and comrades resisting dual forces of state violence and corporate gentrification. They work to defend squats, parks, and other self governed / alternative collective organisation sites in Exarchia and across central and suburban Athens. Since the economic and refugee ‘crises’ inflicted deeper strain on poor and stateless populations across the Mediterranean, Exarchia has been a beacon for working alternatives, with thousands of refugees seeking asylum and finding new ways to live and economise outside inhumane border force control and other systems of intra-state oppression. Since April 2019, however, riot and military police, under the direction of the Greek Government have been violently cracking down on this resistance network. Many have been arrested, harmed, deported and arbitrarily detained.
This fundraiser seeks to support the Anti-Repression Assembly in their fight for collective self-organisation. Money raised will go to cover legal costs, food, and other organisational needs.
Total profits made was $905.90 !!
$906 has now been forwarded to the Justice for Yuendumu gofundme campaign. More is needed, so please keep sharing the link & donate directly if you’re able to: Justice for Yuendumu: Inquiry on Police Shooting GoFundMe
Thank you to everyone who purchased one (or three!).
Printing is underway & orders will be posted by the end of the week.
Love & strength to the Walker family & the community of Yuendumu. Wishing you justice & peace.
