EKO GRAD BANJA LUKA

EKO parade

The exhibition was one of the largest attended in a long time, in a place which is still suffering from its recent bloody wars. many people were unaware of INDYMEDIA, where there is still no IMC node in Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, Srpski Republic. some interest was shown in trying to set one up.

top image is of part of INDYMEDIA stuff displayed, main features from IMC-UK @ april, images and commentry from Seattle, Prague, Genoa and process of INDYMEDIA. an IMC-OXFORD person was there to inform those interested on further stuff

EKO GRAD BANJA LUKA- shows map and model of city, red dots are main nodes in EKO PARADE ( last image) which was a coulourful fun wander throught the city giving out flyers (small enough to fit in your hand, mostly in serbian).

as part of EKO PARADE, a dead 12 foot branch of a tree was used to hang a giant EKO flag, which was the main visual prop, along with some orange stuff- this flag was used as banner for exhibition and was hung on main door to gallery

ECOTOPIA 2005 @ BALKANS

ECOTOPIA 2005 could and i feel should happen in bosnia. the country mostly affected by the worst war in europe since WW2.
ECOTOPIA 2005 is exactly the type of project that could unite people, rebuild communities and promote more sustainable living

the initial networks and processes have been put into place to start making this idea possible- dealing with the urban is what we have to address- ECO CITIES, what are they, where are they at present, how can we make them, how can we get more people involved, how can we communicate most efficiently and effectively

ECOTOPIA could happen in the amazing forest at zelenkovac ouside Banja Luka

or in tackling the urban problem- by occupying the presently unused industrial area of banja luka??
