The Tempest Library has been open since October 2009. In this time the project has developed and grown and we feel that it is now ready to move.
The Tempest library originates from a desire to expand the possibilities that we have for revolutionary activity. An attempt that composes a social workspace of critique, controversy, and the destruction of the dominative institutions, as well as an experiment against the structure of alienated relationships. We see it as one project among many that compliment each other and together comprise a wider revolutionary projectuality; that is to say, a clear direction, a logic and a dynamic with a revolutionary drive at its heart. The library is open for people to participate, and everybody can freely take his/her decision to stay or retire, to act or not to act, to ignore or to support.
During the first six months, we have watched as the library has grown, the lending material increase, and seen more and more individuals become interested in the project. People have contributed with their presence, thoughts, and ideas during the events, discussions, and interventions, as well as by contributing with money (peoples’ contributions have enabled the distribution of interesting material, free of charge). However, in order to expand -qualitatively and quantitatively-, we decided it was necessary to move to a new location, another territory for our thoughts and ideas. A bigger space, easier to access, and open to all the people who might be interested.
The Tempest is much more than a library: it breathes beyond the four walls that frame it. The library itself offers a space where different individuals can come together, exchange ideas, and determine practices, creating possibilities for revolutionary self-organisation for the ongoing class struggle against state and capital.
We can fight it but we cannot escape the logic of capitalism that we are immersed in.
We need financial contributions.
The Tempest library is located at Reichenbergerstr. 63a 10999 Berlin
