On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from artist Joan Baz who speaks on the bonds of solidarity in both creative conceptual processes between Lebanon and Palestine, while also speaking on the ways that the social, political and territorial environments are connection. Joan speaks on the ways that Israeli state colonial aggression and military violence on Lebanon impacts the lives of artists and how the broader struggle to overcome the systemic violence of the colonial and neocolonial power structures that continue to impact both Lebanon and Palestine are addressed within the arts.

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear a conversation with Mercy an organizer and outreach worker at the Prostitution Information Center (PIC) in Amsterdam. The interview was recorded in the meeting / conference room of the PIC community space in the heart of the red light district in Amsterdam. This interview highlights the current and ongoing struggle against gentrification in Amsterdam, a process which is having detrimental impacts on the work and livelihood of sex workers in Amsterdam. Currently PIC is organizing a public campaign against moves by the Amsterdam city government to close some red light district windows to create galleries and studios.

196, The Prostitution Information Center in Amsterdam battles gentrification in the city

On this edition we speak with scholar activist AK Thompson. The conversation revolves around the importance of looking critically at the lack of radical thinking within the public expression and action of many important social movement demands in the west. AK speaks on the ways that the reform oriented frameworks for social action, largely developed in the late 19th and early 20th century do not speak to the urgent need for radical change that exists today, from climate justice, to the extreme colonial violence that persists in places like Gaza.

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from author, activist and academic Ayesha Vemuri speaking on the project "Solarities, Seeking Energy Justice." The project is described this way:

"Solarities considers the possibilities of organizing societies and economies around solar energy, and the challenges of a just and equitable transition away from fossil fuels. Far from presenting solarity as a utopian solution to the climate crisis, it critically examines the ambiguous potentials of solarities: plural, situated, and often contradictory."

203, Anthony Arnove and Haley Pessin on Voices of a People's History of the United States

Listen to a conversation with author Mark Bray speaking about the recently released book "The Anarchist Inquisition: Assassins, Activists, and Martyrs in Spain and France." The book is described this way: 

"The Anarchist Inquisition explores the groundbreaking transnational human rights campaigns that emerged in response to a brutal wave of repression unleashed by the Spanish state to quash anarchist activities at the turn of the twentieth century. Mark Bray guides readers through this tumultuous era—from backroom meetings in Paris and torture chambers in Barcelona, to international antiterrorist conferences in Rome and human rights demonstrations in Buenos Aires.

Anarchist bombings in theaters and cafes in the 1890s provoked mass arrests, the passage of harsh anti-anarchist laws, and executions in France and Spain. Yet, far from a marginal phenomenon, this first international terrorist threat had profound ramifications for the broader development of human rights, as well as modern global policing, and international legislation on extradition and migration."
