Sat 23th of April Disturbances-lecture: Anarchy in the 80s & Early 90s

Doors open at 4 pm, Lecture begins at 4:15 pm

How were squatting, zines, demonstrations and other civil action executed in the Finland of 1980s and early 1990s and what was accomplished with them? Kaide, a civil activist who was involved at the time, tells about the beginnings of a period of large societal change. Horke Lavento tells what it was like to discover anarchism in Southeast Finland in the 80s and how anarchism started to be perceived as something else in the Finnish 80s than odd behavior or terrorism. How was the Finnish Anarcho-syndicalist Federation founded and how were the first connections established to anarchists abroad?

Lecture on facebook:

Disturbances is an open series of lectures and discussions at the crossroads of society, philosophy, history, economy and resistance.

We are already aware that we can not live as before, but we do not know what the future holds. Others are stuck in the past, but we only want to understand it. Even a small disturbance of an initial condition can lead a system into a completely different state.

Our speakers are Finnish and international anti-authoritarian researchers and activists. Events are organized in cooperation with A-ryhmä and AutOp. You may also follow lecture online (both real-time and recording) at .

Our program is created by the participants themselves, if you want to join or simply get in contact, write .

Children are welcome to any events of A-ryhmä by default! We have now also a separate room in case children get tired of lecture. Prams can be left in the hallway on the 6th or 1st floor.

Kupoli is inaccessible space.

There is one small step at the downstairs front door, and an elevator that runs between from floor 1 to 6. Kupoli is on the 7th floor after a staircase.

There are two searate, rather spacey but not wheelchair-standardized, unisex toilets. There are stairs between Kupoli and wc.
