Colin Ward Festival of Anarchic Ideas, Tactics & Action, Oct. 18

From Kairos

To explore the work of author and social theorist Colin Ward, we're holding a day-long festival of anarchic thinking, strategising and making. Through short talks, discussions and workshops, we’ll consider how his pragmatic anarchism could help us create alternative spaces in the city, and build infrastructures of mutual aid, autonomy and resistance.

Harriet Ward (1930-2024)

From Centro studi libertari - Archivio G. Pinelli
Bulletin #63

Harriet Ruth Ward passed away on July 14th. We were bound to her by a long-standing relationship of friendship and collaboration; together with her partner, Colin Ward (1924-2010), she was a fundamental presence and reference for our cultural activities. Born in 1930 to Dora Black, a feminist and socialist author and militant, and Griffin Barry, an American journalist to whom she would dedicate an extraordinary memoir (A Man of Small Importance: My Father Griffin Barry, Dormouse Books, 2003), Harriet grew up in the progressive Beacon Hill school founded by her mother and Bertrand Russell, then husband and wife. She later devoted herself to teaching, applying in practice the innovative ideas about education developed with Colin.

129. The Everyday Anarchy of Colin Ward -- Roman Kriznaric

From Everyday Anarchism

This episode publishes on the hundredth anniversary of Colin Ward! Colin was one of the popularizers of many of the ideas featured in this podcast, and I've stayed away from covering him for fear of copying him. But my guest today, Roman Krznaric, convinced me to do an episode on Colin's thought, and we had a thrilling conversation about anarchy, city planning, protest, and Kim Stanley Robinson.
