120 YEARS INDUSTRIAL WORKERS OF THE WORLD!

😻The Cyprus Regional Organising Committee of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW CyROC) invites you to celebrate together with us the 120th anniversary of the founding of the IWW!

🎂Let's welcome the scorching hostile summer right, with a top class (working class that is) celebration! Come one, come all, and bring your families and friends! There will be free drinks and snacks for everyone!

🎊The celebration extravaganza will feature the following:

👉17:30 Presentation of the newly-launched poetry collection "ΤΑ ΤΣΙΑΤΤΙΣΤΑ (και άλλα ποιήματα) ΕΝΟΣ ΚΥΠΡΑΙΟΥ WOBBLY" of Panagiotis M., by the poet themselves. Free copies of the booklet will be distributed to attendees! The event will be in Greek, with whisper translation in English.

👉19:30 Presentation of the newly-launched book "The Precarious Migrant Worker: The Socialization of Precarity" of Panos Theodoropoulos, lecturer in Social Justice at King's College London, by the author themselves. The event will be in English, with whisper translation in Greek.

👉21:30 Screening of the film “Joe Hill” (1971, Bo Widerberg), commemorating the IWW’s most famous troubadour and the 110 years since his unlawful execution. The award-winning film (Cannes 1971), featuring a performance of the song with the same name by Joan Baez, was mostly unavailable commercially for nearly four decades, until the National Library of Sweden produced a restored and digitally remastered version in 2015.
