From It's Going Down

Invitation to international anti-prison gathering in Argentina July 2025.

The importance of these types of gatherings, which lead to international and reproducible agitation, are essential for sharing experiences in the war against domination. To continue the initiative of the International Gathering of Anarchist and Antiauthoritarian Practices against Borders which was organized by compañerxs in Tijuana, Mexico, on this occasion the invitation is to reflect on our practices around the subject of prisons, taking into account the intensity and varied forms in which prisons inhabit us. Necessary to the antiauthoritarian struggle, it is essential to amplify our reflection on prisons and how they not only manifest in a determined time and space, but also how they are embodied in our everyday lives, even in nature and non-human animals.

Extractivism, speciesism, patriarchy, urbanization, punished bodies, coercion, technology, militarism, colonialism, authoritarianism, etc. are just some of the practices that are reproduced inside prisons. We invite individuals, collectives, and other initiatives to share their continued antagonistic reflection and practice against prisons with conversations, contracultural projects, or audio-visual materials, graphics, or performances that relate to a thinking/acting against prisons. The intention is to map the role that prisons currently play in our imaginations, from the collective to the individual. We believe in the necessity to sharpen our ideas and practices, from an ethics of horizontalism, mutual care, self-organization, and autonomy, to confront the hegemony of power, from anarchist anti-authoritarian multiformity and anti-prison internationalism.

Information and a closing date for proposals will be updated as things develop.
