9:00 "Soma, an Anarchist Therapy" - film by Nick Cooper (documentary about

angola, Soma is used by therapists organized in anarchist collectives to
fight the psychological effects of authoritarianism.

10:40 Chella Quint - "Adventures in Menstruating" (comedy zine reading)
11:00 "Consciousness Causes Collapse" - Video art based on Max Stirner by
Adriana Varella (2008). Worked out with three conflicting complementary
superimposed images, this project tries to present the idea of branching
identities. This switching of identities creates a decomposition, fragmentation
and dissociation of the three layers of consciousness: Oppressing, Oppressed
and Free (completely related to the idea of God-State-Nation-Boss-Patriarch,
etc).
