This is an excellent opportunity to join forces to vocally oppose the Bush administration's policies.

Damon Rich writes "CUP (Center for Urban Pedagogy) presents

Urban Renewal: The City Without A Ghetto

a museum of urban development

opening Tuesday, July 15 at Storefront for Art and Architecture



The Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP) announces the opening of Urban Renewal: The City Without a Ghetto, an exhibition to be held at Storefront for Art and Architecture located at 97 Kenmare Street from July 15 through August 17. There will be an opening reception on Tuesday, July 15 from 6:30 – 9pm.



CUP has created the exhibition, Urban Renewal: The City Without a Ghetto, to illustrate the history and present state of urban development in New York City. Using techniques from natural history museums, art installations, and government education campaigns, CUP’s goal is to educate the public about the social processes that create everyday physical environments. The work being showcased will examine selected episodes and themes in the traffic between the social and the physical, centered on Urban Renewal as it was and is practiced in the United States starting in the mid-20th century. New York City and Chicago are the primary case studies. Individual exhibits will contribute to the viewer’s material understanding of the social construction of the physical environment. The exhibition will include large-scale photography; a video documentary on the history of public housing in New York City; an interactive model displaying government subsidies, do-it-yourself urban research environments and contemporary proposals for economic development in New York.



Urban Renewal: The City Without a Ghetto is one component of a larger series of exhibitions and programs entitled The City Without a Ghetto in 2003. All projects address how areas of human habitat have come to be labeled as unwanted, unneeded, or unimportant, and how various means have been used in attempts to remove, renew, revitalize, or redevelopment these areas through planning.

and possibilities for studying games and play as part of a changing world
and its power structures. The symposium is organised to maximise discussion

Contemporary Anti-War Mobilizations

Agonistic Engagement Within Social Movement Networks

A two-day workshop to be held in Corfu, Greece, November 6-7, 2003

The network perspective is often discussed in relation to social movements
and collective action. Key elements of the latter, such as actors,
agencies, organizations, institutions etc. witnessing, participating,
confronting or allying with social movements, can be studied in their
networked entanglements -- consensual or conflictual, deliberative or
agonistic -- at any level of collective action -- local, national or global.

Concerning the European
Union Summit Taking Place in Thessaloniki (Greece) in June 2003


Against the EU Bosses

After a series of summits all around Europe, the EU bosses come to visit their partners in Greece and make decisions for us -- without us. We announce that they will find us on their every step in our cities. We gonna be present wherever they go, and we gonna be by the side of the workers and the common people who resist in any possible way to the brutal capitalist globalisation.

Because of that, some of the anti-authoritarians and anarchists (both groups and individuals) in Greece decided to create the "Anti-authoritarian Movement Salonika 2003" in order to organise our resistance against the plans of the local and global bosses.
