What’s behind the protests that mobilized hundreds of thousands of Brazilians and shocked the country in the middle of the Confederations Cup?
Who are the protesters and what are their flags and demands? What are the direction and the consequences of the mobilization?
Two eye-witnesses will give a visual report on what happened in São Paulo and try to answer these questions.

7:30 – 9:30

Speaker: Gifford Hartman
One of the forms in which the working class exists today is at the various nodal points along global commodity chains. Global production is based on a system of “factories without walls,” where increasingly components are manufactured using an inventory-less subcontracting system that races around the globe looking for the “leanest” costs of production – especially cheap and compliant labor. Yet these just-in-time chains are vulnerable and this presentation identifies the nodes where struggles offer the greatest possibility for solidarity to spread down supply chains – and across oceans and borders. The presentation will show the links between bread riots worldwide in 2008, the Arab Spring, and the Occupy shutdown of the Port of Oakland, California in November, 2011. Gifford Hartman is a writer and activist from California, USA.
Pre-launch event for the Radical History Zone of Bristol Anarchist Bookfair
3pm – 6pm
13th of Apr
The Radical History Zone of the Bristol Anarchist Bookfair will get off to a cracking start as author Eveline Lubbers shines a light on corporate and police spying on activists – the topic of her new book, Secret Manoeuvres in the Dark.
In the best tradition of radical Investigative research. Secret Manoeuvres includes revelations from the Economic League’s blacklisting of trade unionists, the McLibel case to the high-profile exposure of police spy Mark Kennedy. Using, we are promised, exclusive access to previously confidential sources, independent investigator Eveline will share some secrets at Hydra.
