Sunday 31 May 2026, Thirteen years Taksim Square Uprising. Movie night: Times of the Marauders, 2014. Dir: Cem Uğur, Kenan Ağbulut (Ghetto Cinema Collective). 58 minutes, in Turkish with English subtitles. Door opens at 20:00, presentation and film start at 20:30. Free entrance.

This mid-length documentary, composed of footage shot by Cem Uğur, Emrah İlingi, and İmran Aydın who work at Etkin News Agency begins with the first moments of resistance at Gezi Park and concludes with a revolutionary lament for those who lost their lives during the resistance. We are gathering on May 31, 2026. Thirteen years ago, on May 31, Taksim Square was occupied and reclaimed by so-called “marauders” and “drunkards.” We knew how to drive the state’s fascist police forces out of the squares, but in doing so, a heavy price was paid. Salute to the people of Turkey and Kurdistan who took control of Taksim Square. In honor of the day we reclaimed the square, we invite you all to Joe’s Garage to discuss our Gezi Park Uprising.
A thousand greetings to those who fell and fought during the Gezi Park Uprising!
Everywhere is Taksim, everywhere is resistance!
Long live our Gezi Park Uprising!
