An web view of the declaration
Does this new artistic initiative derive any inspiration from the Situationist movement of France and elsewhere that flourished around the 60s and 70s?
Try this: http://affinityproject.org/groups/situationist.html
One big thing they did was to take comic pages; erase the bubble dialogues and caption narratives and then insert situationist commentaries and dialogues on cultural, political and philosophical topics; print these and circulate. There is a Situationist website where you can access key documents and comic/cartoon samples.
whizzing by on the bus, rubbernecking meself into a contorted cramp wondering what the bejasuz these mad hedz were up to. Let's have more ideas more protests more unity and more reports!
Great to see some sort of imaginative initiative such as this flowering in the grey wasteland that passes for what Irish political society has become. It illustrates well enough that some people are still capable of imaginative thought - our politicians are not and too many of our artists, in the face of revealed corruption in the land, choose to remain dumb; a condition that is not readily comprehensible to artists in other countries. It would be interesting to know what people think of the Arts Council's predeliction for accepting anonymously-forwarded mails, particularly those sent with malicious intent, in their grants' assessment process. I have had recent experience of this, where a letter I published in a Galway newspaper (over my own name and private address - I am Director of the Western Writers' Centre) critical of the arts generally in that town was forwarded to the Arts Council along with items from our website as 'evidence' of my being divisive; subsequently the letter was used in an assessment for grant-aid to the Western Writers' Centre and was cited as a reason for removing their grant. I understand that the Council are considering a rethink on the letter. But surely this is a clear example of where freedom of speech is denied, even punished? How often does this sort of thing go on? Will they now - as in justice they should - rethink their withdrawal of the grant? Well done, folks! We do not live in a democracy and haven't for a long time.
VIVA the Autonomous Republic!

Here is one thing the Government wants you to forget.
YOU HAVE A VOICE
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO USE IT?
FOR TRUTH
Art is witness. When the government wiretaps and spies on its own
people, people become afraid to speak the truth.
SPEAK THE TRUTH
FOR UNITY
The artist shows what everyone is thinking. The government wants
people to feel isolated and alone. A stencil in a public place says,
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
FOR POWER
The government wants you to think you are powerless to act.
YOU CAN ACT
This doesn’t mean it’s easy. This doesn’t mean no one died. But
governments cannot survive shame. A government can jail people,
deny them votes and power, but when a million people no longer
believe in that government, it will tremble. That million will breed
another million and some of them will be judges and soldiers and
cops. A house divided cannot stand.
GOVERNMENT REQUIRES THE CONSENT
OF THE GOVERNED
If the American people stop believing in this administration,
it WILL fall.
