More Than Fashion: The Political Context Of Revolutionary Struggle
with Christina Gerhardt
May 29th 7:00 PM @ WOODEN SHOE BOOKS (508 s. 5th street!)
In the 1970s, numerous armed struggle groups in West Germany rose up. While a spate of new films, art exhibit, novels and even fashion lines have revisited the era in light of the 40th anniversary of the 1968 student demonstrations in Berlin and the 30th anniversary of the "German Autumn" of 1977, their explorations of the groups and their politics tend to eclipse a thorough exploration of international and domestic political struggles. This talk will present some of the era's groups, such as the Red Army Faction, the June 2 Movement, the Revolutionary Cells and the Red Zora, contextualizing their critiques and actions in the international and domestic events of the time.
