Προβολή Ντοκιμαντέρ – ”TOT INCLOS”

“Οταν η τουριστικοποίηση και ο σύγχρονος μαζικός τουρισμός δε σε αφήνει να ζεις μπέσα στην πόλη σου”


Για μια χώρα όπως η ελλάδα και μια πόλη όπως η αθήνα, ο μαζικός τουρισμός πλασάρεται ως ευλογία αφού συνδέεται με την αύξηση του οικονομικού κέρδους. Ταυτόχρονα όμως, ο τουρισμός συνδέεται με μια σειρά φαινομένων που διαλύουν την καθημερινότητα των κατοίκων: το airbnb και η ολοένα αυξανόμενη ζήτηση τουριστικής κατοικίας οδηγεί σε αύξηση των τιμών των ενοικίων και επισφάλεια όσον αφορά το δικαίωμα στη στέγαση, ο δημόσιος χώρος υποβαθμίζεται λόγω της κοσμοπλημμύρας
ενώ ταυτόχρονα έργα υποδομής προσανατολισμένα στις ανάγκες τουριστών οδηγούν σε αποστείρωση και αστυνομοκρατία και τελικά η όποια οικονομική ανάπτυξη φέρει ο τουρισμός οδηγεί σε αύξηση των τιμών δυσανάλογα με τους μισθούς των κατοίκων που παραμένουν οι ίδιοι. Γι’ αυτό το λόγο επιλέξαμε την δεδομένη στιγμή να προβάλουμε μια σειρά ντοκιμαντέρ στη γειτονιά μας, για να αναδείξουμε αυτό το πρόβλημα που σταδιακά εδραιώνεται και να επισημάνουμε ότι δεν έχει σημασία σε ποιο γεωγραφικό πλάτος της γης βρίσκεσαι διότι παντού ο τουρισμός δρα ακριβώς με το ίδιο μοτίβο και έχει πάντα τα ίδια ολέθρια αποτελέσματα . Από την πόλη της Βενετίας , λοιπόν, αυτή την φορά μεταφερόμαστε στις Βαλεαρίδες Νήσοι, κυρίως στη Μαγιόρκα και την Ίμπιζα. Όπου βλέπουμε πως η ραγδαία ανάπτυξη της τουριστικής βιομηχανίας μετατρέπει ταχύτατα τα νησιά ολόκληρα και της ζωής των κατοίκων τους σε ένα πάρκο αναψυχής για τους τουρίστες. Πώς ο μύθος που λέει “ζούμε από τον τουρισμό” αρχίζει να αμφισβητείται και πλέον γίνεται λόγος για κορεσμένες παραλίες, έλλειψη πρόσβασης σε στέγαση και άλλα προβλήματα. Θα παρακολουθήσουμε λοιπόν, μια σειρά συνεντεύξεων από χαρακτήρες που σχετίζονται με τον κόσμο του τουρισμού, με τον ακαδημαϊκό κόσμο, τον κόσμο της οικολογίας και συνεντεύξεις από ανώνυμους ανθρώπους που ζουν στη Μαγιόρκα. Συμπεριλαμβάνονται εικόνες της Μαγιόρκας που δεν εμφανίζονται σε τουριστικούς καταλόγους.

“When modern day mass tourism doesn’t allow you to live in your city”

For a country like Greece and especially a city like Athens mass tourism
is sold as a blessing as it is linked with increased profit. At the same
time though it is the root of a number of phenomena that put a huge
burdain on locals and their daily lives: Airbnb and the rising demand
for accomondation  leads to increased rents and precarity for the
locals. Public spaces are undermined and overcrowded while tourist
facility constructions create a sterile environment in the neighbours,
to be anjoyed by visitors, cut off from the people and their needs.
Eventually whatever “fianancial growth” has been achieved only
translates to increased cost of life disproportionate to average incomes
that roughly stay the same.
We are chosing this time to show a series of documentaries in our
neighbourhood to point out this issue that is affecting us directly and
to emphasize the fact that, irrelevant to your location on the globe,
the tourist industry expands and exploits following the same partners
and leading to the same devastating results. After the city of Venice we
take a closer look at the Balearic Islands (mostly Ibiza and Mallorca).
We witness how the radical increase of tourism turns the islands into
“amusement parks” for tourists. We watch as the myth of tourism
“feeding” the local economy is questioned and its place is taken over by
concerns that include the state of the overused beaches and the housing
problems that occur. We will see a series of interviews with individuals
connected to the tourist industry, academics, ecologists as well as
anonymous residents of Mallorca. The film features images of Mallorca
that tourist guides won’t show.

March against the prohibitions and the further devaluation of our lives – Friday 23/4 Kypseli 18:00

The imposition and escalation of restrictions and prohibitions from the
beginning of the pandemic, their apparent use of the above by the state and
the surveillance of every aspect of our lives, intensify social war and
oppression aimed at building a dystopia dominated by self-inclusion and
individualism. Fostering and building relationships of solidarity and mutual
care, as well as any attempt to claim public space, are acts of collective
resistance to the dystopia and regime of social isolation.

With the above in mind we are participating in the march against the
prohibitions and the further devaluation of our lives called by squatters,
anarchist groups and comrades from the neighborhoods of Athens’s center.
The call to march:

Demo against rent raise and tourism takeover

THIS IS WHERE WE LIVE AND WORK, COMMON STRUGGLES FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING!

The city is changing. The invasion of tourism industry, Airbnb, real estate agencies, the state’s policy and their allies, are turning this city into a theme park; into a constant investing opportunity within which we are either customers or low payed workers. The base salary remains stuck at 500 euros, but the house owners, the Greeks petit-bourgeois, decided that it’s more than sufficient for them to collect higher rents. And we should get accustomed to paying more and to live under worse conditions. To inhabit and work into neighborhoods with no migrants and to anyone else who does not fit for them. We should struggle to keep our neighborhoods multi-ethnic, against racism and state suppression. To keep our neighborhoods alive, against landlords and bosses!

Assembly against the extortion of rent

Writing and call for the demo in solidarity with the persecuted street traders of ASOEE [22/01/2019]

At 20 and 21 of December 2018, the cops made an operation in Athens and Thessaloniki to repress the immigrants street traders, who try to survive selling their stuff outside the university of ASOEE and inside the university campus of APTh. In total, 36 people got arrested and persecuted, and also the cops stole all their stuff from their houses.

At 22/1/2019 we wrote slogans in solidarity with the street traders, in walls of Patision street and around Ameriki’s square. We also call for supporting of the solidarity demo that will take place at Friday 25/1, and is called at 6pm at Victoria’s square by the Self-organized Squat of ASOEE, the Anti-authoritarian Squat of Panteion, the Self-organized Squat of Polytechnic, and by solidarians.
