1970年代、オイルショック後のアラブ諸国との関係改善を図るため、日本はPLOに対し、東京に代表事務所を開設するよう招請した。「Tokyo Reels」は、1995年に同事務所が閉鎖された際に残されたフィルムのアーカイブであり、日本の活動家たちによって大切に保管されていたものが、2016年に再び世に出たものである。 このアーカイブは現在どのような意味を持つのか? そして今日のパレスチナと日本の関係とはどのようなものなのか? In the 1970s, to cultivate better relations with Arab countries after the oil shocks, Japan invited the PLO to open a representative office in Tokyo. "Tokyo Reels" is an archive of films left behind when the office was closed in 1995, kept safe by Japanese activists until they resurfaced in 2016. What is the meaning of this archive now, and the relationship between Palestine and Japan today? ※日本語の字幕があります。The film is subtitled in Japanese.

Silent Strikes as Tactical Innovation in Post-Coup Myanmar
Speaker
Renaud Egreteau
Associate Professor (City University of Hong Kong) and Visiting Research Fellow at CSEAS [Feb-Apr 2026]
Abstract
Turning bustling urban areas into “dead towns” by stopping all social and economic activities is firmly anchored in the protest repertoire of many societies across Asia and Africa. As repression escalated in Myanmar following the 1 February 2021 coup d’état, activists began to call for similar nationwide shutdowns. Drawing on interviews with strike organizers and participants, and the digital materials they circulated, this talk seeks to deepen our understanding of such forms of resistance under highly repressive conditions. It develops three lines of inquiry. First, it examines the political work that this large-scale protest action performs. Second, it posits that the post-coup re-appropriation of these methods constituted a tactical innovation in response to increasingly lethal repression. Third, it explores why Burmese activists integrated the notion of “silence” into a repertoire traditionally understood as a withdrawal from public spaces and a paralysis of urban life. The talk concludes with reflections on how collective, insubordinate silences and the strategic abandonment of public spaces can generate meaning for protest actors, in Myanmar and beyond.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pelcx6335zuov2bi6kday2q6/bafkreicv7mjgrtqv5whe44ft2adrczfw7eazw2y2f42bdv6augycyup3je)

宋家楽は6歳の頃から、ひとつの願いを抱いてきた。女の子になり、心と身体を一致させること。14歳で宋庄村を離れ、家を出てからは、飲食店の店員として働いたり、料理を売ったりしながら生きてきた。大都市の喧騒と忙しさのなかでも、胸の奥にある「性別への不安」は埋められることはなかった。この三年間、彼女は手術に必要な書類を整えるため、また家族に手術への理解を求めるために、上海と故郷を何度も往復してきた。しかし、父や親族はその思いを受け入れることができなかった。幾度もの葛藤を経て、それでも宋家楽は手術を受けるという選択を固く決意する。病院では、同じくトランスジェンダーとして生きる仲間たちと出会い、互いに支え合いながら、夢のような自己変容の時間を過ごした。だが退院し、故郷に戻った彼女を待っていたのは、家族からの罵倒や非難だった。理解されない苦しみと、これから歩む人生の道行き——それらは、彼女にとって新たな不安として立ち現れている。 . Since age six, Song Jiale has dreamt of living as a girl. After years of working odd jobs and battling intense gender anxiety, she chooses to undergo surgery, even as her family remains steadfastly unsupportive. Though she finds a temporary sense of community among other transgender patients, her return home is met with scolding and isolation. Now living as her true self, she must navigate a future clouded by family conflict and social uncertainty.

Ruang Belajar Pembangunan Demokrasi Daybreaker Network adalah komunitas belajar bagi para aktivis yang percaya pada kekuatan rakyat melalui akumulasi dan pengelolaan pengetahuan dalam gerakan sosial agar dapat diakses oleh publik. Kami menyadari bahwa para aktivis atau penggerak di lapangan seringkali menghadapi hambatan bahasa, yang membatasi akses mereka untuk mengikuti pelatihan di luar negeri maupun bertukar pengalaman dengan gerakan-gerakan dari negara lain. Guna membuka pintu pengetahuan dari gerakan sosial di seluruh dunia bagi masyarakat Thailand, memperkuat kepercayaan diri para pejuang rakyat, serta menumbuhkan harapan dalam pembangunan demokrasi, Daybreaker Network bekerja sama dengan Asia Democracy Network (ADN), We Watch, dan KontraS mengundang Anda semua untuk menelusuri gerakan demokrasi di Indonesia.

Waving Kites: Hong Kong Diaspora Cinema UK Tour, taking place in Newcastle, Manchester, Edinburgh, Sheffield, Southampton, and London from April to May 2026, explores Hongkonger diasporic experiences across diverse moments and places. The tour forms part of a wider project on Hong Kong independent cinema led by the Chinese Independent Film Archive (CIFA) at Newcastle University, and is supported by the British Film Institute’s Screen Heritage Fund. Showcasing CIFA’s newly acquired Hong Kong film collection, the programme features fourteen screenings accompanied by post-screening Q&As or panel discussions, presented in art-house and independent cinemas, community venues, and university campuses across the UK. Bringing together three feature-length documentaries and a selection of short films, the programme traces a range of perspectives, from hope to disillusionment, separation and exploration, the struggle to settle, and reflections shaped by global capitalism and xenophobia. These films attend not only to those who have left, but also to those who remain; to building relationships in places that may feel unwelcoming; and to how migration can open paths to self-understanding. Together, they span diasporic experiences from the 1980s to more recent waves of emigration, moving between Hong Kong, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Film Screening “A Rohingya Ramadan – Inside the World’s Largest Refugee Camp” April 21 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm The film “A Rohingya Ramadan” offers a rare and intimate view of life inside the world’s largest refugee camp, seen through the eyes of several of its residents. More than a million Rohingya refugees, stuck in open-air confinement, surviving on minimal aid, still fasting, praying, carrying on. A student prepares for her IELTS test to win a university scholarship, a widowed newcomer navigates aid distribution, a stall keeper sells betel leaf to feed his family, and a young rapper writes music about camp conditions. Made in Cox’s Bazar during Ramadan 2025, this documentary is the result of a collaboration between director Jidi Guo and Director of Photography Ro Yassin Abdumonab and Producer Sohel Khan, both Rohingya human rights activists whom reside in the camp. They spent a month filming inside the Cox’s Bazaar refugee camps, located in Bangladesh. For all the research reports, fundraising campaigns, and officials announcing new high watermarks in the crisis, daily life in the camps remains largely unseen. The movie captures the texture of daily life during the Islamic holy month and was commissioned by Al Jazeera Documentary. The screening will take place at SEA Junction, room 407-8, 4th Floor, BACC. The film is 52 minutes long, it will be in Rohingya and English, with English subtitles.

On 21 April, we are very delighted to host a screening of Strangers and Their Babies at SOAS, chaired by Dr Lara Momesso. This moving documentary uncovers the little-known history of the Penghu refugee camps in the Taiwan Strait, where Vietnamese “boat people” were held after fleeing war and upheaval. Among those who passed through these unlisted camps were 106 babies born there — children whose stories have remained largely unknown. The film follows four of them, now grown up, as they trace their families’ journeys of escape, survival, and identity across Taiwan and the United States. Documentary screening: Strangers and Their Babies Time: 21 April 2026, 5:00–7:00 pm Venue: BGLT, Brunei Gallery, SOAS

Memperingati Hari Kartini dan Menjelang Sidang Putusan PTUN terhadap Fadli Zon-- TAK BISA DISANGKAL : Mengungkap Ideologi Kekerasan Negara Pada Fakta Perkosaan Massal Mei 98 Senin, 20 April 2026 | 13.00 - 15.00 WIB | tinyurl.com/TakBisaDisangkal-Mei98 ID Rapat : 873 7673 6428 | Sandi : Mei98 Saat ini kita masih dihadapkan pada fakta maraknya kasus-kasus kekerasan dan pelecehan seksual baik di kampus, tempat kerja, di rumah dan di lingkungan yang lain. Pola kekerasan yang terus berulang, proses penanganan yang tidak berperspektif korban, sanksi yang tidak memberikan efek jera pada pelaku. Situasi tersebut patut kita lihat *bukan sebagai kasus yang berdiri sendiri namun memiliki konteks yang erat dengan penyangkalan negara* pada fakta bahwa terdapat unsur kesengajaan dan perencanaan dalam menarget tubuh perempuan menjadi sasaran kekerasan. Salah satu penyangkalan tersebut adalah pada peristiwa perkosaan massal Mei 98. Meskipun telah terdapat temuan TGPF yang memperlihatkan adanya unsur kejahatan sistematis dalam peristiwa tersebut, penyangkalan terus terjadi, salah satunya melalui pernyataan Menteri Fadli Zon yang menolak istilah massal sehingga menghindari tanggung jawab negara dan melanggengkan impunitas pada pelaku. Memperingati Hari Kartini dan menjelang Sidang Gugatan Putusan PTUN pada Fadli Zon pada 21 April nanti, Perempuan Mahardhika mengajak kawan-kawan untuk hadir dalam Webinar diatas. Webinar ini bertujuan untuk menjadi ruang konsolidasi gagasan dalam melihat pola kekerasan yang terus berulang. Mari hadir dan bersama-sama memperkuat langkah perjuangan menghentikan segala bentuk kekerasan terhadap perempuan
