Conversations with organisers of queer DIY art spaces in Athens, recorded in Feb 2023 in Athens and London.

ΛΑΛΑ (pronounced lala) is a DIY self-organised house in the heart of Athens.  A space for creativity, research and archives of queer and underground arts of the city 

AMOQA (Athens Museum of Queer Arts) is a hybrid space for the research and promotion of arts and studies on sexuality and gender.

Kouir In Athens

At the end of May 2020, a group of casualised workers at Goldsmiths College, London announced they would be withdrawing their labour by taking part in a marking boycott, in response to a wave of redundancies, nonpayment for hours worked during lockdown and the management’s decision not to furlough staff. 

This conversation, recorded over Zoom, brings together five organisers of the wildcat strike to reflect on what made the action necessary, what its implications are for labour struggles in academia and beyond, and what its potential fallout- and future- will be.
