Warzone Collective

Yo comrades,

Can you believe it's been 5 years since we made the Warzone Dialectogram? (I feel about 20 years older, mind you!)

To mark the grim passage of time, myself and Billy Woods are putting together a public exhibition of the Dialectogram, on the ground floor of the Art College at Ulster University Belfast (the Birley Building) from Monday 2nd to Friday 6th October. As before, it will feature the Warzone Dialectogram itself, alongside a selection of Billy's portrait photos from inside the Centre.

And, we'll have a panel discussion and social event in the Art Shop (also on the ground floor of the Art College) on Wednesday 4th October at 7.30pm. I'll be putting some questions to Darseaux, Jonny Agnew and Aoife Branigan to get some different perspectives on the life (and death) of the Little Victoria Street Warzone Centre.

We'll be doing some vegan food and booze, it should be nice. Come down and have a look, have a chat - we'd love to see you there: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-warzone-dialectogram-5-years-on-tickets-714516276417

Spread the word!
Cheers
Jim

Needle n’ Bitch is a safe space for wmyn/men/trans or whatever your s*x and s*xual orientation is, in Jogajakarta, Indonesia.

https://www.facebook.com/needle.nbiotch?_rdc=1&_rdr

It is not only a physical space, but also a place, situation, and condition created to provide safety, security, and comfort for anyone who is otherwise unable to access it in an espeically s*xist, patriarchal, and homophobic society.

Needle n’ Bitch is also the label of a DIY recycled handmade craft initiative which supports the collective’s needs – Needle n’ Bitch are autonomous and do not receive frunding from NGOs or other sources. Crafts are handmade using recycled or re-used materials, such as tote bags, pouches, and patches (and much more).

https://www.facebook.com/Needle-and-Bitch-DIY-handmade-crafts-374624736056928/

Black Fox Boox is holding a benefit sale to help support the Needle n' Bitch collective, selling NnB's craft wares in Ireland, N. Ireland, and the UK. Visit

https://blackfoxboox.noblogs.org

to view all the available items (patches, toe bags, wallets, pouches) and e-mail your order to [email protected] .

All proceeds will go directly to Needle n' Bitch, and help them to sustain their project in the face of repression and harassment.'

Warzone clean up crew!

***ANNOUNCEMENT***

Now that the dust has settled and the hangovers have more or less disappeared we'd just like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to everyone who made Warzone Fest such a roaring success. We really can't thank you all enough!

To everyone who has put in time, effort, donations, blood, sweat and tears - we couldn't have done it without you. Shout out to the bands who played, the sound techs, the cafe crew, the DJs, the artists and every person who helped keep the doors open. And most of all a very special thank you to all the volunteers because if it weren't for you we wouldn't have had a centre!!

We will be taking some much needed down time to regroup and organise a new space in the new year but if anyone has anything left to collect from Warzone we will be open on Wednesday evening for you to swing down and pick it up. Because we are moving out of the space, anything that is left afterwards will be chucked out and we won't be replacing anything when we reopen so please make an effort to come get your stuff ASAP. If Wednesday doesn't suit please make arrangements with one of our volunteers.

We have limited amounts of merch left which we will make available online in the coming weeks for anyone who missed out on getting shirts/prints etc. We will also be running a series of benefit gigs to raise much needed funds to put towards opening a new space so keep an eye out for those!

Once again a huge thank you to everyone who has been involved, we couldn't have done it without you. Until next time...
