On May 25th, Team Colors Collective, in collaboration with the Journal of Aesthetics and Protest, will launch a one-off online journal entitled 'In the Middle of a Whirlwind: 2008 Convention Protests, Movement and Movements.' To release the journal and contribute to discussions about movement building we are organizing events around the country. In New York City the release event will focus on issues of social relations and social struggle.Through a discussion of organizing experiences and
analysis of current organizing projects, speakers will
address the following questions:*What is the capacity of our resistance as it is
currently constituted?
*What role are contemporary social struggles playing
in resistance that is simultaneously creative and
critical of everyday social relations?
*How are contemporary social struggles building power
or using tactics that relate to, and intertwine with,
people's everyday lives?
*How might we further explore and explode these
everyday relations in order to unlock the limitless
potentialities of new social modalities that
reorganize power?
