Eastern Forest Justice League

2003 Eastern Forest Defense Camp



Dear Friend of the Forests,




Greetings from the Eastern Forest Justice League. We are a collective of forest defense organizers who hail from bioregions across the Eastern United States. From the Northeast and the Great Lakes down through the Midwest, the Central Appalachians, Southern Appalachia, the Piedmont, and all the way down to the Deep South, we've come together to train existing and aspiring activists from across the East to defend their forests at home through non-violent direct action tactics.

Globalica: Conceptual and Artistic Tensions in the New Global Disorder

A Symposium Organised by WRO Media Art Centre & Institute of Digital Arts and
Technology [i-DAT]
as part of Globalica, WRO 03, 10th International Media
Art Biennale, Wroclaw, Poland, 1 May 2003

Against a backdrop of Poland's impending entry into the European Union (and
neo-liberal capitalism), the symposium aims to investigate the local
tensions around the ways in which artists and commentators respond to global
processes, and the language and strategies they employ to do so. How does
contemporary artistic practice respond to these tensions, especially when
using or reflecting the use of network technologies? Do artists simply
respond using the same fashionable rhetoric as the system they seek to
question? What chance does networked resistance have of being resistant in
such a scenario? What models are there left to aspire to?

As you most certainly know, the next G8 (Group of the eight most
industrialised countries) summit is expected to take place at
the beginning of June, in Evian, in nearby France.
An international coordination, formed by militant groups from
various backgrounds, gathered last 1st and 2nd March to denounce
the illegitimacy of the G8 and to prepare the ground for a
social resistance.
During this meeting, it was decided in particular to organize
linked demonstrations between Switzerland (GE, VD, VS) and
France.
