Like Global Uprisings? Then you can’t miss 2.Dh5
This pamphlet has been made to share with you what the 2.Dh5 festival is, and why if you enjoy the Global Uprisings conference you should definitely join us at the upcoming edition in The Hague from January 31 to February 2.
The central theme of the festival is the importance of history for current movements. “Everything has to be re-invented” - solutions have to be new and fresh, is often said these days. Movements from the past are easily denounced as obsolete and outdated. But can we write them off so easily?
To find out we will take a closer look at movements thruout history and the solutions that they proposed not so long ago, and investigate the value for current movements. Can we easily dismiss the history of political struggles, or is it better to acknowledge its value and see our movements as a continuation of those struggles?
