Description
Join us for the Vancouver launch of Play Naked: Puta Economics Against Olympic Dispossession by Amanda De Lisio, an evening of conversation, celebration and collective care.
The evening is intended as a celebration of all those who contributed to the book project, shared their stories and labour, and continue building collective forms of care, resistance, and solidarity in the face of FIFA and Olympic dispossession.
A Q&A with the other will be moderated by Jennie Pearson of SFU Criminology, with additional speakers from SWAN Vancouver. This event is free, but please RSVP here as capacity is limited.
Co-sponsors of this invite include the Simon Fraser University School of Criminology and the CARE Study.
Community donations welcomed in solidarity with CasaNem & Coletivo Puta Davida. PayPal: casanem2016@gmail.com.
Donations also welcome to S.W.I.F.A Mutual Aid Network, as well as to SWAN Vancouver.
