Creative Resistance and Climate Change Workshop
October 31st, 2007
Time: 7pm-9pm
Location: The Foundry, 84-86 Great Eastern St, London EC2A 3JL
**********************
On Wednesday October 31st, 2007 the Climate Camp Exhibition hosts a panel
discussion and participatory workshop on ‘Creative Resistance to Climate
Change.’ Short presentations on creative resistance and climate change
will be followed by a facilitated discussion. The aim is to address
questions such as:
-What is creative resistance?
-Why is it necessary?
- How can and do we use the power of creativity, art and imagination in
our direct action?
-What does (or would) a diversity of tactics approach to climate change
look like?
Speakers from: Ecstatic Mourning, PlaneStupid, Departure Lounge, Climate Camp
Everyone is welcome to stay along after for drinks, chats and planning.
“Avoid old stale tactics at all costs. Chanting and picketing no longer
make an impression … Look for daring, new participatory tactics depending
on the nature of your action.”
-Lesbian Avenger Action Outline
“[This is] not a plea to take art to the streets … It's a plea to value
our creativity more, to understand it’s transformative power and apply it
directly to social change, to social movements, to acts of disobedience
and strategies of survival.”
-John Jordan, Deserting the Culture Bunker
