anarkita is an invitation to children, caregivers and parents (in any body) to come together, share and explore experiences of early parenthood/childhood, identify common needs and struggles, and build a shared understanding/practice of solidarity.

We will gather on Saturday, 18th October, at 4 PM for a two-hour consciousness-raising circle at Cooperation Town Organising Room (Cooperation Town Hub, Wendling Estate, balcony level, Haverstock Road, London – NW5 4RA).

Sparkled by a disquietude of Paola Debellis Alvarez (Other Ways To Care, Quepamos Todas: cinemateca andante), a deserting mental health worker, film programmer, and mother of year-old twins, experiencing precarity in research and motherhood, problematizing institutionalisation in care under patriarchal capitalism, projecting alternatives.

This is a free event, part of the AntiUniversity Festival 2025. Antiuniversity Now is a collaborative experiment to challenge institutionalised education, access to learning and the mechanisms of knowledge creation and distribution. Antiuniversity events are open to all to organise and attend, regardless of experience, background, age or qualification. All you need is an interesting idea and an openness to share it with others in a collaborative way.
