One does no have to waste parliament election evening to following of election results. Instead, join anti-election party at at Kupoli to celebrate alternatives for representative power.
Civic advocacy is talked about on election years but are elections a good way to decide on mutual issues? Suvi Auvinen gives a critique for the representative decision-making method. The presentation also includes alternatives for the present system, ponders the problems of representation and advices to approach the election question critically.
After the presentation there will be discussion, free socialising, beverages and music in good company. Be there and raise a glass to direct democracy!

Disturbances is an open series of lectures and discussions at the crossroads of society, philosophy, history, economy and resistance. We are already aware that we can not live as before, but we do not know what the future holds. Others are stuck in the past, but we only want to understand it. Even a small disturbance of an initial condition can lead a system into a completely different state.

Our speakers are Finnish and international anti-authoritarian researchers and activists. All the lectures can be streamed live and afterwards from A-ryhmä’s channel on Bambuser http://bambuser.com/channel/A-ryhma Events are organized by AutOp, a student group of the University of Helsinki. Our program is created by the participants themselves, if you want to join or simply get in contact, write hairioita@riseup.net.

Children are welcome by default! We have now also a separate room from 6pm to 8pm in case children get tired of lecture.
