SUMMARY:Lands in Resistance: Savanna and the Mountain
DESCRIPTION:You can sign up here \nLands in Resistance brings you the voices of those who don’t wear suits or speak from parliament platforms. The voices at the frontline of environmental defense combating mining multinationals. The films ‘Illusion of Abundance’ and ‘Savanna and the Mountain’ both highlight the fight of affected communities to protect their ways of life\, health and future\, from Brazil to Portugal. This screening will show the second\, check out the events for the first as well! \n‘THE ILLUSION OF ABUNDANCE is not only a film about those who pay the high price of ‘development’ and ‘progress’\, it is above all a film about the globalization of their environmental resistance and their conviction to hunt down misbehaving transnational corporations\, wherever they hide.’ \n‘The community of Covas do Barroso\, in northern Portugal\, discovers that the British company Savannah Resources plans to build the largest open-pit lithium mine in Europe just few meters from their homes. Confronted by this imminent threat\, the People decide to organize themselves and expel the company from their lands.’ \nThe green transition is a hot topic. According to ruling politicians more mining is necessary to get lithium and other critical raw materials for the electrification of society and to boost our economy. The mining industry pushes for more extraction to fuel neverending consumption. A voice that is rarely heard is that of communities whose homes are invaded by mining. Yet they live the destruction\, pollution and societal damage caused by it. \nProceeds from the screenings will go to communities fighting against mining. Both movies are introduced virtually by the directors. Stick around for an interesting conversation!

SUMMARY:Mijn Smartphone\, MIJNramp? - A Photo Exhibition on the Right to Say No
DESCRIPTION:Join us in interactive photo exhibition to explore the impact of mining and “the right to say no\,” starting from Latin America and ending in Gent! This exhibition highlights not only the destruction wrough upon Latin America by mining but also the dire effects upon Europe too!\n\nWe will reveal first-hand testimonies which depict not only the environmental repercussions and the resilience of the impacted communities\, but also the negative effect of this consumerist model on Europe – from the climate crisis to the everyday malfunctioning electronic made from those same metals mined in Latin America.\n\nJoin us on March 23 at Ensemble vzw\, Ghent\, as we open the exhibition with a guided tour from our environmental defenders\, Carolina and Wilder! Entrence is free. We hope to see you there!\n\n\n—\n\nThe photo exhibition is comprised of the work from two photographers and artists volunteering in CATAPA:\n-> Simon Lenskens: pictures from the projects “I Wonder Who Bewitched Us” (2017)\, taken in Perù capturing how local communities deal with invasive mining companies but also how life continues.\n-> Dayana Curzon: pictures of the projects “Basura Galeria: an art expo from the north to the south”\, depicting electronic wastes left in the city of Gent\, tackling the problem of electronic wastes and planned obsolescence\n\n[This event is part of the The Right to Say No Tour. Carolina and Wilder\, two activists from Falan\, Colombia\, are building a movement to defend their region against mining companies and their colonialism. They have the right to say no to the destruction of their region. Join the events during The Right to Say No Tour to hear about the experiences of these environmental defenders\, how our “green” transition is impacting their lives and how degrowth might help their struggle.]
