[event] OutPost 2: Singapore Really Really Free Market


Post-Museum presents:
OutPost 2: Singapore Really Really Free Market 19
The first-ever outdoor session since it started in Jan 2009.

Join them for this session of the temporary market based on the concept of giving and building a community based on sharing resources, caring for one another and improving the collective lives of all.

Everything is free! Come share your stuff (books, cds, toys, food, etc) or skills (tarot card reading, hair cutting, poetry writing, singing, etc) by giving them to others who need them!

By sharing, we are reducing consumption and waste of our natural resources, re-using what we don't need anymore by passing it on, and most importantly, showing everyone that there are more sustainable and loving ways to live.

This session is part of the Singapore Unity Project Commemorates International Human Rights Day which features a number of 'booths' from various local NGOs.

Everyone is welcome to come by to just experience the joys of giving and making friends!

[event] Living Without Money, a documentary screening // 30th April 2011 @ Sinema Old School

The Zeitgeist Movement Singapore presents:
Living Without Money (documentary)
Sinema @ Old School
11B Mount Sophia Old School #B1-12
6pm-7.30pm
Entry with trade (details below)

The documentary Living Without Money portraits the life of 68 year old Heidemarie Schwermer, a German woman who made a deliberate choice to stop using money 14 years ago. She cancelled her apartment, gave away all of her belongings and kept nothing but a suitcase full of clothes. This was a decision that changed the entire outlook on her life dramatically.

Today, after 14 years, she is still living almost without money and claims... she is feeling more free and independent than ever. The film follows Heidemarie in her day to day life and shows the challenges she meets by living an alternative lifestyle.

The film reflects around themes of materialism and over-consumption – how money influences our way of thinking, living and acting – and the consequences this has on our life, health and the environment.

In true spirit of this film, Sinema Old School will not be charging for tickets. Instead, we welcome all of you to bring something of value to Sinema and exchange that with a movie ticket. It can be anything from a set of markers, to paper, or blank CDs, etc. We accept all sorts of office stationery, and even food like biscuits or instant noodles.
