Neka of the unemployed workers of the Anibal Veron Co-ordination is coming to share her experience of the vast movement of occupations and grass-roots organising and resistance that has swept Argentina over the past two years or more. Graciela, a puppeteer, will give a show about local social movements and Argentina's insurrection. The puppet show will give people a chance to understand the situation in Argentina where workers have gone from regular jobs to picking up cardboard from the streets of Buenos Aires every night to sell it for a few cents. There will be opportunities for those that come along to participate, and it is hoped people will also be able to make connections between the situation in Argentina and what's faced here. This will be an inspiring look at the grassroots organisation that has sprung up in Argentina.

Over the last year an incredible wave of social protest and action has engulfed Argentina. In the midst of a severe economic crisis there have been massive street protests, over 200 factory under workers control, more than three hundred co-ordinated micro-enterprise co-operatives organised by unemployed women and men, countless neighbourhood associations formed, and many other autonomous popular initiatives. Yet little is heard about this in the United States or in Europe. The purpose of the Argentina Autonomista project is to bring news about events in Argentina to North America and Europe, through people-to-people exchanges and the internet (web and email) and to facilitate non-hierarchical communication within Argentina, especially among groups with a minimum of resources.

The tour is timed to coincide with the first anniversary of the Avellaneda Massacre outside Buenos Aires on June 26th 2002
