:: More about And So Forth ::
Scheduled to coincide with the official beginning of George W. Bush's
second presidential term, ASF was conceived and organized by members of
Amnesty International Firefly Project in response to the surge of
politically-engaged art-making that swept New York City in the months
leading up to the Republican National Convention and the 2004 election.



Prominent members of New York City's burgeoning artist-activist
community will join representatives from politically-oriented and
grassroots arts organizations to discuss topics ranging from the
political potential of gallery exhibitions to documentary filmmaking,
public performance, political satire, and fundraising.

"Call For a Militant Anti-Fascist Contingent at the Bush Counter-Inauguration"

On January 20th, 2005 as the Emperor is re-crowned four days of militant anti-fascist action will commence. Blinded by militaristic nationalism and sedated by the opiate of religious fundamentalism, the people of this country have allowed the fascist ideology of neo-conservatism and their culture of fear to seize the day.

We say no longer.

"Beyond Capitalism: Marx's Concept of an Alternative"
Five Discussions Beginning Jan. 23, 2005 in New York City

What concepts can help break through the prevailing notion that there is no alternative to existing society? Is it possible today to develop an alternative to all forms of capitalism, whether in its "free market" or statist varieties? Can a concept of a new society that transcends value production animate today's forces of revolt to go beyond reformism and one-sided critiques of U.S. imperialism that fail to articulate what we are for?

These five meetings will address these questions by exploring a work by Karl Marx that contains his most extensive discussion of a new society — his “Critique of the Gotha Program.” We will explore Marx's Critique in light of ongoing theoretic and practical debates in the radical movement.

Rethinking Foucault, Rethinking Political Economy

March 17–18, 2005, University of Leicester, UK

Workshop Theme:

Foucault was clearly concerned with rethinking political economy. This
concern ranged from his direct engagement in The Order of Things with the
formation of the economic subject in relation to political economy, and
also involved him in all manner of debates throughout his life about how
one might understand the political economy. After his death these debates
continued as his work has been extended in a variety of different attempts
to rethink political economy both in general terms and also in terms of
the analysis of specific politico-economic micro-practices and related
technologies of subjectification.

The Parade Must End

NY Counter Inaugural Cluster


A call for an Anti-Authoritarian Bloc for the January 20, 2005 protest of the Presidential Inauguration in Washington D.C.


In August of 2004 the Republican National Convention came to New York City. Hundreds of thousands of people from all over the country marched peacefully and followed the law. This did not stop the police from illegally arresting people in mass while the Bush administration ignored one of the largest marches in NYC history. In January, if the police again attempt to forgo their own laws and arrest demonstrators, we will defend ourselves against this unlawful state repression. It is not enough to merely demonstrate against Bush or the war in Iraq. We must take action against the everyday war that is the system and for a new one based on mutual aid and cooperation.
