CodePink Women’s Activist Training Camp

San Francisco Bay Area, August 15–17, 2003

Join women of all ages and backgrounds for a weekend of activist training sessions and outdoor fun brought to you by CodePink: Women for Peace.

CodePink began as a movement to stop the war on Iraq, and in a short time has become a vibrant presence in the peace and social justice community. It continues to organize actions in creative -- and sometimes outrageous ways -- addressing a multitude of issues from the missing weapons of mass destruction to the corporate takeover of our airwaves, all the while bringing into play the sensibilities of respect, compassion and interconnectedness.

Anonymous Comrade submits


"Globenet and Reporters Without Borders are honouring a cyber-dissident who is being prevented from informing us via the Internet. The first
prizewinner is Tunisian cyber-dissident Zouhair Yahyaoui, sentenced to two
years in prison. Yahyaoui's fianc=E9e, Sophie Piekarec, received the 7,600
euro Prize on his behalf at a ceremony in Paris. A young unemployed
university graduate and Internet enthusiast, Yahyaoui launched a news
website from within Tunisia in July 2001. It was the only way to express
oneself in this country of censorship. Using the = pseudonym Ettounsi,
Yahyaoui quickly began drawing lots of young visitors to TUNeZINE. His
recipe was humour and sarcasm. In July 2001, TUNeZINE began reflecting the concerns of human rights defenders by being the first site to post an open
letter to President Ben Ali from Judge Mokhtar Yahyaoui (Zouhair
Yahyaoui's uncle) criticising the complete lack of judicial independence
in Tunisia. Written mostly in the Tunisian vernacular, the posts of
Yahyaoui and his team upset the authorities. Tunisia's cyber-police, who
are among the most effective in the world, were ordered to track them
down. He was arrested in an Internet caf=E9 in a Tunis suburb on 4 June
2002 by ten plain-clothes policemen, who took him to his home and searched
his room, taking his computer equipment. During interrogation by members
of the Directorate for State Security (DES), an offshoot of the interior
ministry, he revealed the password to his website. He was also tortured.
After a summary trial, an appeal court sentenced him on 10 July 2002 to
two years in prison for "spreading false news."

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.



About CUP

CUP is a nonprofit design and research organization that makes educational projects about architecture, urbanism, and the physical environment. Since 1995, CUP has organized and produced exhibitions, publications, discussions, and educational programs on topics such as Governors Island, building codes, street trees, the African Burial Ground, urban development, and architectural education. Ongoing projects address risk management, business improvement districts, international financial institutions, and municipal waste management. Please visit us at www.anothercupdevelopment.org."

The symposium 'Power-Up: computer games, ideology and play' will be at the
Watershed Media Centre, Bristol on Monday July 14th and Tuesday July 15th.


The Play Research Group within the School of Cultural Studies at the
University of the West of England invites you to explore the implications
and possibilities for studying games and play as part of a changing world
and its power structures. The symposium is organised to maximise discussion
and debate -- there is a limited number of panels and workshops with plenty
of time for less formal exchange of ideas.
