Do you want to be disgustingly educated?💫
The Renegade Skeptics could help with that!
Welcome you to our very first meetup, whose theme will be: The cost of silence
We will explore various cultural texts — including books, poems, films, songs, and quotes — that portray, embody and examine political ideology, historical oppression, and resistance.
Before our first meeting we will be 💭💭💭
This is an Italian, WWII song, from the perspective of a man who wakes up to find the enemy in his country and has to say goodbye to his loved one before going to war. He talks about his death casually, and asks that he is buried on a mountainside. It’s a famous song and anthem of resistance.
📜Reading the poem: First They Came by Martin Niemöller.
Written post-WWII, the poem highlights the dangers of apathy and silence.
The lens: The complicity of those who did not speak out against the Nazi regime, and the incremental purging of targeted groups.
⚠️IMPORTANT NOTE: You can do *any* of the above. You don't have to do them all, you overachiever!
Join us in exploring historical resistance and political ideology, and engage in thought-provoking discussions that will expand your knowledge base!
🆓Free entry. Please RSVP; limited spots.
📍🕰️See you on Saturday, April 18 at 14:00 @ Mikri Frinta/Η μικρή Φρίντα Κοιν.Σ.Επ. (La nina Frida)
