THE GENTLE GIANT THAT CARES AND SHARES
"I can tell you that the sculpture is a symbol of that particular period when disadvantaged communities were for the first time, demanding to be heard. That collective voice was and remains powerful."
Jimmy Boyle, Art the catalyst, Craigmillar Communiversity Press, 2004.

07-06-2005 14:08
With plans for massive protests in Scotland next month for the 2005 G8 summit now developing rapidly, this event at the rampART offers a chance to look back at learn from the experiences of the 2001 G8 summit in Genoa."300.000 people were protesting in july 2001 against the g8 in Genoa: the collective dream 'another world is possible' turned into a nightmare overwhelmed by the violence by the police, finding it's climax in the murder of Carlo Giuliani."
Saturday 11th June (after the Naked Bike Ride and before the Reclaim The Future Party so you don't have to miss out on anything and can experience a real roller coaster of highs and lows)
This is a chance to speak and share experiences with people who took part in the protests against the G8 in 2001. This is not an event intended to scare anyone. It is an important chance to reflect and learn and most importantly PREPARE for Scotland...
What happened in Genoa? Why did it happen? Could it have been avoided or handled better? What does any of this mean for us this July? What precautions and preparation should we be making and are we!? These are just some of the possible valuable questions we can discuss on Saturday.
- Were you in Genoa? Please come to rampART on saturday and share your experiences of the event and the aftermath.
- Are you going to Scotland? Please come on saturday and ensure you are fully aware of what lessons our collective history may have to offer.
- Are you party of a team working on accomodation, alt media, legal monitoring, or medical aid etc for Scotland? Please come let people know what is being organised and how they can help.
G8 2005: Why Are People Protesting?
07-06-2005 02:52
Tony Blair recently said "it would be very odd if people came to protest against this G8... I don’t quite know what they’ll be protesting against" - a comment that underlies the way that the UK Government has been working to paint the G8 as a progressive force for good when it comes to tackling Climate Change, Poverty and Debt.G8 Fiction and Fact - 2004 Intro to G8 Failures
