“This documentary takes a look at hacking in the place where technology and activists meet. Where the need to circumvent state surveillance and surveillance capitalism is grave. Where people see an unfair system in society and find a way to hack it. This is the true hacker habitat.
In direct opposition to banks, corporations and entrepreneurs who appropriated the words ‘hack/hackathon’, the film aims to fill these expressions with the subversive and anarchist tradition they originally contained. Delivered in chapter form, this film shows hacker projects and system hacking from Japan, Cuba, occupied Western Sahara, Belgium and Sweden. These chapters are intertwined with thought provoking interviews where hackers talk about the ethics behind what they do. Furthermore, the film mirrors these ideas in a discussion with the political theorist Emma Goldman’s writings. Filmed under the 2010s it provides an unique insight into a global political hacker movement.”

Come watch two surreal compilations of media footage from revolts that
have occurred inside and outside of two jails in St. Louis, Missouri
since 2017. Front and center, they show the agency of prisoners inside
as well as the subversive potential of unmediated communication with
their supporters outside.
WE’RE TOO HOT follows a demonstration in 2017 at the city’s former
holdover facility: the Workhouse. It was sparked by a heatwave that sent
temperatures inside the A/C-less jail into the 110s. In 2021, the
Workhouse was closed after a long campaign against it, but this has left
the equally notorious second jail, the Justice Center, to pick up the
slack. 6 mins
Breaking the Fourth Wall (or A Justice Center Recruitment Video) is a
slog that seeks to keep up with the comical and particularly appalling
management of the Justice Center, which has seen a scandalous amount of
“disturbances,” riots, hostage takings and full-on uprisings over the
since 2020. As well as, 18 prisoner deaths in that time. 26 minutes

Free The Anti-Colonial Fighters!
Free Them All!
A letter writing night for Elias Rodriguez and Casey Goonan, both are accused of fighting in the U$A against the colonization of Palestine. As the struggles to free Palestine escalate and face repression, we can break the isolation of imprisonment and the justice system. Writing letters is one way we can strengthen the connections and spirit that make struggles possible. Bring friends and snacks, we’ll provide paper, pens, envelopes, and stamps.
Casey Goonan’s support website: freecaseynow.noblogs.org
Elias Rodriguez’s alleged manifesto: haters.noblogs.org/files/2025/05/Elias-Manifesto.pdf

TL;DR – O.R.C.A. is public, don’t hesitate to share any events or media about the space unless it says different on the flier 🙂
We have heard of people being concerned that sharing fliers, posters, and invitations related to O.R.C.A. was not okay so we wanted to make clear O.R.C.A. is a public project 😀 While we appreciate people’s concern for the project’s security we are excited to welcome new people to the space, to host events and meetings, and keep open hours. We maintain a public website and twitter account. While we are happy to host private events, most of the programming at O.R.C.A. is free and public, and we welcome people sharing events that take place in our space. We do not publicly post our address but we try to be responsive and forthcoming about sharing our address and access information via email and direct message to those interested in attending. As always we would love to talk with interested individuals and groups about hosting your event or meeting. Though we do occasionally host private events the fliers or invitations to those events are explicit about how they are meant to be shared.

In October 2019, protests against a transit fare hike in Santiago erupted into a nation-wide insurrection against the Chilean state. For six months, the streets were transformed into vibrant laboratories of self-organization, creativity and resistance, before ultimately being cleared by the promise of a new constitution and the spread of a global pandemic.
In the opening installment of Interrebellium, subMedia traces the history of the Estallido Social through the first-hand experiences of its participants, as they share battle-tested street tactics, and hard-won lessons about the lengths that the state will go to repress and recuperate challenges to its rule.

If you were bummed to miss a talk on police tactics, there’s another chance! Join us again for a brief lecture and a collective discussion about how police relate to and suppress protest movements. By looking at police tactics to street action and civil disorder, how can we better develop our own priorities and anticipate police response to movements for liberation?
Our aim will be to understand the logics behind how cops roll up on protests. Using authorities’ own playbooks as a starting point, we will build a top level picture of how states operate, and we will look at how that manifests to police tactics on the ground. Expect some discussion of state violence and police brutality.
