Radical Theory Reading Group, every Wednesday 7-9pm at New Yorck at Bethanien.

How can we use theory to understand, relate to and challenge our political environments? Are you interested in reading Deleuze and Guattari and related critical thinkers? As well as thinking through what these ideas offer us in terms of self-organization? We want to create an open environment for reading, discussing and applying theory as well as build a dialogue between philosophical reflection and direct activism in Berlin. Join us in our weekly discussions of texts and themes on capitalism, space, self organization and the city. No prior knowledge required, all welcome!
