This May we’re celebrating the one year anniversary of our focus on older people – with a fantastic inter-generational event. \n\n\n\nWant does the word ‘inter-generational’ mean to you? \n\n\n\nOn Tuesday May 28th we invite everyone – men\, women\, older\, younger – to join us for a screening of A Suitable Girl. A documentary following three Indian women\, struggling to live their lives amid intense pressure to get married\, the film examines these women’s complex relationships to marriage\, family and societal and cultural expectations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue URL:http://gentleradical.org/event/inter-generational-film-screening-a-suitable-girl/ LOCATION:The Riverside Warehouse\, 56 Machen Place\, Cardiff\, Riverside\, CF11 6EQ\, United Kingdom END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20190504T103000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20190504T143000 DTSTAMP:20190624T151615Z CREATED:20190411T171601Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190624T151615Z UID:1929-1556965800-1556980200@gentleradical.org SUMMARY:Imagination Forum #5 DESCRIPTION:The Imagination Forum is back and this time we’re exploring ALLYSHIP. \nWhat makes a good ally? How is allyship connected to power and privilege? How does it inform personal and professional relationships? How do we get better at practising it? \nTo help us learn more about this concept we’re delighted to be welcoming back Joshua Virasami (who joined us at our ‘Decolonising Environmentalism’ symposium last year). Artist\, musician\, film-maker and leading activist with Black Lives Matter London\, Joshu is an inspiring and influential campaigner around climate justice\, environmental racism\, and the power of culture to inform radical change. \nWe’ll also be hearing from some brilliant Wales-based voices\, and exploring the implications of good allyship for the arts sector in Wales. How might good allyship inform new models of partnership working that are born out of transparency\, equity and parity\, instead of what can often be extractivist and colonial practices. \nJoin us\, so we can figure out how to build this work\, in Wales\, together. \nThis event is free for asylum seekers!

And by association\, what would an arts and cultural sector look like which truly reflected the diversity of its citizenry? \n  URL:http://gentleradical.org/event/imagination-forum-1/ LOCATION:Riverside Warehouse\, 56 Machen Place\, Cardiff\, Cardiff\, CF11 6EQ CATEGORIES:Imagination Forum ORGANIZER;CN="":MAILTO:radha@gentleradical.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20190111T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20190111T143000 DTSTAMP:20190212T154033Z CREATED:20190212T154033Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190212T154033Z UID:805-1547211600-1547217000@gentleradical.org SUMMARY:Scoring in between the spaces DESCRIPTION:As part of the Artes Mundi 8 exhibition\, Gentle/Radical will be hosting a writing workshop responding to the themes of Otobong Nkanga’s incredible sculptural and tapestry works.

Whilst our first conflict resolution course created a safe space for women\, this time we’ll be opening out the training to EVERYONE in Cardiff\, this December. \nOver a weekend\, AVP will train people in powerful and effective ways to deal with conflict in daily life – from work situations\, to family tensions\, to inter-personal relationships. Whilst the AVP Workshop Leaders will do some talking\, this will mainly be an interactive workshop\, with participants invited to talk in pairs\, and small and large groups as part of a series of group activities and exercises. \nWHAT DO WE MEAN BY ‘CONFLICT’?\n‘Conflict’ means those times we don’t agree with someone\, or get annoyed or upset because we’re not getting what we want; or not getting what we need. By conflict\, we don’t just mean wars – conflict is part of everyday life and involves struggles with ourselves as much as with each other. Learning how to handle conflict and communicate better is important for all of us\, so we can have stronger relationships with friends\, family members\, colleagues\, comrades – and even those we don’t know! \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  \nReflections \nUnsanctioned Journal : Striving For  A Less Violent Society URL:http://gentleradical.org/event/conflict-resolution-training-with-alternatives-to-violence-wales-2/ LOCATION:YMCA\, Shakespeare St\, Cardiff\, CF24 3ES CATEGORIES:Partnered Events,Training Courses END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20181029T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20181029T140000 DTSTAMP:20190220T233440Z CREATED:20181002T112703Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190220T233440Z UID:313-1540810800-1540821600@gentleradical.org SUMMARY:Boy and the World DESCRIPTION:  \nWe are delighted to announce our most inclusive screening yet – open to all generations across Cardiff to include children\, young people\, men\, women and elders! \nWe kick off half-term with a screening of enchanting film BOY AND THE WORLD.

They will each focus on their reading of an aspect of ‘culture’ from a ‘decolonised’ perspective… \nWhat’s a ‘decolonised’ perspective? ‘Decolonised’ can mean many things\, specifically how we bring perspectives of structural power\, representation and coloniality to our experience and practice of culture. How do we reframe culture – centring and bringing issues of oppression\, race\, class\, gender\, ableism\, language etc – into our thinking? \nWe welcome an exciting line up of speakers\, presenting in a ‘PechaKucha’ style format (fast-paced presentations of twenty\, 20-second slides)\, with a line up that includes writers\, visual artists\, publishers\, spoken word performers\, community arts activists\, and more…. \nJoin us for an exciting evening of fascinating topics\, rich conversations\, even better company and shared community meal! \n  \n \n  URL:http://gentleradical.org/event/imagination-forum-gathering-4/ LOCATION:The Sustainable Studios\, 7 Curran Rd\, Cardiff\, CF10 5NE CATEGORIES:Imagination Forum END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20180926T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20180926T130000 DTSTAMP:20190220T232607Z CREATED:20190212T154032Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190220T232607Z UID:855-1537956000-1537966800@gentleradical.org SUMMARY:Bad Lucky Goat DESCRIPTION:A screening for women\nWe’re delighted to welcome all women to the Riverside Warehouse for another film screening with Gentle/Radical Film Club (formerly WOW Film Club).

For countless marginalized communities around the world\, it’s a different story. Climate change is radically affecting people’s lives in the global south. And those who suffer the most – and contribute to environmental degradation the least – are consistently silenced from speaking up. \nDECOLONISING ENVIRONMENTALISM is a community symposium that looks at climate justice from the perspective of global south communities\, as well as the relationship Wales has to its migrant communities locally and globally. The event will explore connections across environmentalism\, race\, class\, geography\, power and the persistent residues of colonialism. \nWe’ll also be screening THANK YOU FOR THE RAIN\, an extraordinary documentary about Kenyan farmer Kisilu Musya. When he meets Norwegian filmmaker\, Julia Dahr\, they decide to document the merciless impacts of climate change on Kisilu\, his family and community. \nSpeakers include:\nAsad Rehman (War on Want)\nSakina Sheikh (Platform London)\nJoshua Virasami (Black Lives Matter)\nSuzanne Dhaliwal (UK Tar Sands Network) \nOnce the greatest exporter of fossil fuels in the form of coal\, today Wales has the opportunity to press forward with a radical agenda on climate change and sustainability.

Within these frameworks\, women’s contributions and resistance to war are all too often silenced. And yet it is women – from Wales to the Middle East\, from the African Continent to Asia\, from India to the United States – who are left most disadvantaged when wars ‘are over’. \nOn 8 March 2018 Komalên Jinên Kurdistan (the Kurdistan Women’s Freedom Movement) issued a rallying cry to women across the world. Their exhortation – with its formulation of a future free of violence\, necessarily centring on women’s liberation – inspires this event looking at war and women’s voices. \nJoin us for an afternoon of talks by leading women academics\, activists and writers to chart a century of war and the continued unfolding of women’s struggles and resistance against the backdrop of imperial terrains. \nSpeakers : Angela Boskovitch\, Huda Amoori\, Suna Parlak\, Tatiana Garavito\, Malaka Mohammed & Jenny Mathers.

We discussed the differences between the terms – and practices – of ‘diversfiying’ versus ‘deconolonising’. And we articulated new visions for what emancipated futures might look like in Wales. \nAt the next Forum\, we’ll continue our exploration of the dynamics of structural inequity as it shapes our cultural and social systems\, with a specific focus on power\, privilege and oppression. \nThings to bring: \nA writing pad (if you forget\, we’ll have paper)\nA table lamp\nA book that has influenced you URL:http://gentleradical.org/event/imagination-forum-2/ LOCATION:Riverside Warehouse\, 56 Machen Place\, Cardiff\, Cardiff\, CF11 6EQ CATEGORIES:Imagination Forum ORGANIZER;CN="":MAILTO:radha@gentleradical.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20171112T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20171112T180000 DTSTAMP:20190220T174438Z CREATED:20190212T154032Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190220T174438Z UID:834-1510495200-1510509600@gentleradical.org SUMMARY:Palestine\, Partition and Parallels Across the Colonial Terrain DESCRIPTION:  \nGentle/Radical are delighted to host their first ‘people’s symposium’\, bringing together archival films\, invited speakers and panel discussion around two key footnotes in British colonial history: the Partition of India in 1947\, and the Palestinian ‘Nakba’ (‘Catastrophe’) of 1948. \n2017 marks the 70th anniversary of Indian Independence\, and the 100th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration. On the afternoon of Remembrance Sunday\, this symposium invites you to remember less visible tragedies in our colonial history\, as they relate to South Asia and the Middle East. \n1947 in India\, and 1948 in Palestine\, were both marked by violent displacement\, dispossession from land\, and colossal trauma afflicting regions and their inhabitants. We will explore the parallels across these two events\, and the dynamics of violence\, loss and imperialism in Palestine\, India\, Pakistan and Bangladesh. \nThis is a COMMUNITY-WIDE EVENT\, to include screenings of breath-taking film footage; contributions from invited speakers MIKO PELED\, SAMAYYA AFZAL\, FATIMA RAJINA and others; panel discussion; Q & A; and an evening meal at 6pm (food included in the ticket price). \nWE WARMLY WELCOME EVERYONE – whether knowledgeable about these histories or wanting to find out more – to join us for an exciting and enlightening event. \nThis event is FREE for asylum seekers!

DESCRIPTION:“Adultism is ‘the power adults have over children. More narrowly\, adultism is defined as ‘prejudice and accompanying systematic discrimination against young people.'”\n\n  \nGENTLE/RADICAL invite all young people to a Halloween night of food\, short films and discussion for and about young people. We want to start a conversation about what young people want to see happening in our city. \nHow do we make spaces for you as young people?\nHow does our culture reflect and support you?\nHow can your voices be heard\, how can adults listen? \nThis event is a chance for young people\, and those who work with you\, to get together and discuss what a radical future for young people might look like. \nIt’s Halloween\, so our film shorts are themed around some scary stuff: ghosts\, ghouls\, but also some of the scary things young people are facing today – from police checks to lack of job opportunities\, from body image to Islamophobia… \nThis get together is about watching short films\, sharing food\, and discussing your aspirations\, frustrations\, and how to deal with the challenges of living in a society that doesn’t know how to value your voice \n  URL:http://gentleradical.org/event/youth-get-scary-food/ LOCATION:Riverside Warehouse\, 56 Machen Place\, Cardiff\, Cardiff\, CF11 6EQ CATEGORIES:Film Club ORGANIZER;CN="":MAILTO:radha@gentleradical.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20170922T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20170922T130000 DTSTAMP:20190220T231601Z CREATED:20190212T154033Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190220T231601Z UID:822-1506074400-1506085200@gentleradical.org SUMMARY:Technical Ambassadors Training DESCRIPTION:Gentle/Radical are delighted to be teaming up with Film Hub Wales and the Independent Cinema Office to host a FREE workshop on the technical aspects of pop-up film projection and presentation. \nThis is a half day course\, offering women the opportunity to learn and become confident in how to technically set up and use projection and screening equipment to run our pop-up film events. This will be an exciting\, interactive workshop led by an experienced and highly skilled projectionist from the Independent Cinema Office and Chapter Arts Centre. \nWe are keen to develop a group of confident technicians with the skills to set up and use a projector\, learn how to screen films in a pop-up setting\, and fix any technical problems that may crop up during film screenings. We hope that this training will lead in the future to more paid opportunities within the Film Club for female film technicians. \nPlaces on this half day workshop are FREE and a creche will be provided on site\, for women with small children.

Whilst the AVP Workshop Leaders will do some talking\, this will mainly be an interactive workshop\, with participants invited to talk in pairs\, and small and large groups as part of a series of group activities and exercises. \nWHAT DO WE MEAN BY ‘CONFLICT’?\n‘Conflict’ means those times we don’t agree with someone\, or get annoyed or upset because we’re not getting what we want; or not getting what we need. By conflict\, we don’t just mean wars – conflict is part of everyday life and involves struggles with ourselves as much as with each other. Learning how to handle conflict and communicate better is important for all of us\, so we can have stronger relationships with friends\, family members\, colleagues\, comrades – and even those we don’t know!
