Signs of Revolt is an exhibition that weaves together the story of the past decade's social movements against Capitalism, War and Climate Change. Using archive material, design, photography, video, media, and documentation, the exhibition reveals the story of a decade of creative resistance, from the Seattle anti-WTO demonstrations in November 1999 to the upcoming climate justice mobilisations in Copenhagen in Decembrer 2009. The exhibition showcases work produced by artists, designers, activists and collectives from within the social movements active during this decade, including Indymedia London.
Indymedia London gave a presentation entitled 'Indymedia Vs Social Media: After 10yrs of Indymedia, What's Next?' on Sunday afternoon. This talk looked into the impact of the 'social media' tools in today's use of the internet, and how this impacts on Indymedia's own existance, whilst looking at the future of the IMC project.
The Indymedia London talk was preceded by session by a group of professional photographers entitled 'I'm a Photographer, not a Terrorist, Bringing Home the Real News'. This talk addressed issues around the State's criminalisation of those taking images during the reporting of political events, and how prhotographers are organising against this.
The opening took place on Friday 13th and draw a large crowd, followed with a weekend long "Festival of Radical Communication" with a series of talks, presentations, debates and film screenings which also attracted the interest of a large number of visitors and passers-by

(although the timeline thing on the wall only mentions it in relation to london and global street parties rather than co-ordinated action in x countries worldwide, and one of the bits in the booklet refers to something like playful and hilarious parties erupting around the world... hmmm etc).
