GUEST: Marie Trigona, member of Grupo Alavio, a Direct Action and Video Collective, correspondent for Free Speech Radio News, based in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Grupo Alavio is a small collective of working class activists based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. They engage in creating videos and taking direct action. The group has been producing audio-visual material since the early 90s - in their own words - “to create a new working class subjectivity.” Alavio uses the camera “as a political organ and as a tool, which the protagonists in the films appropriate and use to organize.” Their documentaries often premier in factories occupied by workers, or the spaces where workers are organizing a wild cat strike or land squat, or in barrios in the city. Marie Trigona is a member of Grupo Alavio whom we have interviewed on Uprising on current events in Argentina. She is also a correspondent for Free Speech Radio News. Marie is currently visiting Los Angeles and will be speaking at the East Side Cafe in El Sereno at 8 pm about “Social Movements and Alternative Media” in Argentina.
