40 years ago this month in Paris….Mai 68 |

“Be realistic, demand the impossible”
From a time when architects DID change the world.
If you were walking the streets of Paris this month 40 years ago, chances are you would be completely caught up and participating in a time that has since changed French society forever.
Then, France was on the verge of a total revolt with 12 million workers on strike, 122 factories occupied, and millions of students fighting for a radical change in the way the world was working. A spark that boldly called for revolution and dreamed of an end to capitalism appeared to come out of nowhere. Its ripples sparked further questioning and action in other parts of the world including our own little island.
Ultimately, Paris ’68 did not succeed, but that’s not to say that the spark has been fully quelled or, indeed, that it wont boldly appear again in what are still troubled times.
From this explosion of direct action, self control and organisation of space, erection of and life behind barricades, experiments in mass participative democracy and violent confrontation with the powers, new ideas formed and are still forming about how our world works, what alternatives are more desirable and what has to be done to bring these dreams about.
In Ireland the spark seemed to ignite on an already quietly kindling Derry, which directly led to a bitter and bloody 30 year confrontation. The Paris flame was later felt in Dublin’s universities where again students occupied and fought for change, if albeit to a lesser extant then their French comrades. An interesting thing to note is how art and culture played a significant part in these days of action, from the Situationists’ ideas, films, posters, actions in Paris to sometime later, the Free Derry Fleadh with a legendary 23 non stop music session with Luke Kelly and the Dubliners to Tommy Makem’s “4 green fields”.
Today in Barcelona and many other places, May ’68 is being remembered, old films footage of street riots is being shown in cinemas, political spaces are again facilitating dialogue between activists from yesterday and today. This is just a little reminder, that the spark is still alive and kicking…
From Paris ’68 to where?
Paris ‘68
It began when university students in Paris occupied the area of the Sorbonne and Nanterre universities in response to a dispute over visiting rights to a female students’ dormitory. The protests grew into a call for wider university reforms and greater personal freedoms that led to three weeks of mass demonstrations. Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets to protest heavy-handed police treatment. In a show of solidarity, ten million workers, or roughly two-thirds of the French workforce, went on strike. It marked the biggest general strike in French history.
Ireland ‘68
Derry
Inspired by the growing call for civil rights by Martin Luther King and the blacks in the United States, Catholics in Derry started to organise themselves peacefully for change. The city on the edge was on the border of Northern Ireland and was unjustly maintained in a state of apartheid against the catholic “Irish” nationalist community.
In March 1968, a small number of radicals in the city founded the Derry Housing Action Committee, with the intention of forcing the government of Northern Ireland to change their housing policies. They used “direct action” such as blocking roads and invading local council meetings in order to force them to house Catholic families who were on council's housing waiting list for a long time. By the summer of 1968, this group had linked up with the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association and was agitating for a broader programme of reform within Northern Ireland.
In May, news went out around the world what kicked off in Paris, what it could achieve… it showed the times were changing. Perhaps this gave more hope to Derry that change was possible, but also showed what levels the powers will use to quell such demands for change.
“The Troubles”
On October 5 1968, a civil rights march in Derry, the Royal Ulster Constabulary "booted and bludgeoned" a crowd of teachers and clerics off the streets. In response, two thousand students from Queens University marched to City Hall to protest the brutality. These students were then rerouted and blocked by the police, an event that catalyzed the formation of the country's most dynamic student movement, People's Democracy.
On October 5, 1968, activists organised a march through the centre of Derry. However, the demonstration was banned and when the marchers defied this ban they were batoned by the RUC. The RUC's actions were televised and caused widespread anger in nationalist circles. The following day, 4000 people demonstrated in solidarity with the marchers in Guildhall Square in the centre of Derry. This march passed off peacefully, as did another demonstration attended by up to 15,000 people on November 16. However, these incidents proved to be the start of an escalating pattern of civil unrest that culminated in the events of August 1969….
Beyond ‘68, Free Derry and the battle of the bogside…
On 1 January 1969,a group of students in Queen's University Belfast, called People's Democracy, organized a march from Belfast to Derry in support of civil rights. They started out with about forty young people on 1 January 1969. The march met with violent opposition from anti-civil rights counter-demonstrators at several points along the route. Finally, at Burntollet Bridge, five miles outside Derry, they were attacked by a mob of about two hundred wielding clubs, some of them studded with nails, and stones. The police, who were at the scene, failed to protect them. Dozens of marchers were taken to hospital. The remainder continued on to Derry where they were attacked once more on their way to Craigavon Bridge before they finally reached Guildhall Square, where they held a rally. Rioting broke out after the rally. Police drove rioters into the Bogside, but did not come after them.
This was officially the start of Derry's "Troubles" and around this time the internationally renowned image "You Are Now Entering Free Derry" mural was established.

May 1968 Graffiti
Boredom is counterrevolutionary.
In a society that has abolished every kind of adventure the only adventure that remains is to abolish the society.
Those who make revolutions halfway only dig their own graves.
No replastering, the structure is rotten.
We will ask nothing. We will demand nothing. We will take, occupy.
Down with the state.
It's painful to submit to our bosses; it's even more stupid to choose them.
Abolish class society.
We want neither to rule nor to be ruled.
All power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely
Politics is in the streets.
Barricades close the streets but open the way.
People who work get bored when they don't work.
People who don't work never get bored.
The boss needs you, you don't need the boss.
Humanity won't be happy till the last capitalist is hung with the guts of the last bureaucrat.
A single nonrevolutionary weekend is infinitely more bloody than a month of total revolution.
We refuse to be highrised, diplomaed, licensed, inventoried, registered, indoctrinated, suburbanized, sermonized, beaten, telemanipulated, gassed, booked.
Coming soon to this location: charming ruins.
Our aim is to agitate and disturb people. We're not selling bread, We're selling yeast.
You will end up dying of comfort.
Poetry is in the streets.
The most beautiful sculpture is a paving stone thrown at a cop's head.
Revolution, I love you.
I'm a Groucho Marxist.
Desiring reality is great! Realizing your desires is even better!
Be realistic, demand the impossible.
Those who lack imagination cannot imagine what is lacking.
Arise, ye wretched of the university.
Professors, you are as senile as your culture, your modernism is nothing but the modernization of the police.
Neither God nor master.
If God existed it would be necessary to abolish him.
How can you think freely in the shadow of a chapel?
The more we make love, the more we want to make revolution. The more we make revolution, the more we want to make love.
Revolutionary women are more beautiful.
Make love, not war.
Down with consumer society.
The more you consume, the less you live.
Commodities are the opium of the people.
You can't buy happiness. Steal it.
The economy is wounded – Lets hope it dies!
I don't have time to write!!!
Don't get caught up in the spectacle of opposition. Oppose the spectacle.
No forbidding allowed.
The freedom of others extends mine infinitely.

KRAX @ BCN 23-26, wander in or tune into stream |
| posted by duncan on Wednesday, 23. April 2008, 13:55 in topic: whats going on |
KRAX investigates, connects and empowers urban creativity that responds to "cracks" in the city.
KRAX 4 day conference @ BCN : Autonomous cultural spaces.
WALKS, TALKS, WORKSHOPS, PRESENTATIONS, CONNECTIONS...
collectives from many countries participating...
will be streamed also, should you wish to tune in
krax-jornadas.citymined.org
KRAX comes from the idea of cracks in the city, places that generate tensions arising from urban transformation in relation to social and cultural needs. These cracks are a point of attraction for new interests and creations. Krax is an initiative of City Mine(d), centre of production for urban interventions in Brussels, London and Barcelona.
KRAX* s a project that investigates, promotes and connects urban creativity in Barcelona with that of other cities. KRAX believes that Urban Creativity generates alternative proposals and reactions that are necessary to the city's transformation. Autonomous initiatives emerge in response to the lack of value that public institutions place on the need for collectivism, participation and self-management in the process of building the city’s future. These initiatives exist at the cultural, social and economic levels, and we recognise the need to acknowledge and involve them.
SHEDULES: 16.30-18h y 21-23h (GMT+1)

"Hero of the planet" Bill Mc Donough, his ideas and how and to where they are spreading...buildings as trees, cities as forests |
| posted by duncan on Thursday, 13. March 2008, 21:26 in topic: whats going on |
"Imagine a building that makes oxygen, distills water, produces energy, changes with the seasons—and is beautiful. In effect, that building is like a tree, standing in a city that is like a forest."
The above design and the ideas behind it come from William McDonough, the green architect par excellence, who built the first solar-powered house in Ireland in 1977 and was entitled “Hero of the Planet” in 1999 by the Time magazine, this latest proposal for the Tower of tomorrow was commissioned by Fortune Magazine. Read more on INHABITAT
You can watch Bill outline his simple, revolutionary, eco ideas in his presentation: The wisdom of designing Cradle to Cradle. These bold dreams are catching on and being realised, from clean fully C2C recylable materials to eco cities in China.
(This talk in its original very inspiring website TED TALKS )
His question:
"How do we love all of the children of all species for all time."
His goal:
"A delightfullyt diverse, safe, healthy and just World, with clean air, water, soil and power – economically, equitably, economically and elegantly enjoyed."
Meanwhile in ireland...
After many many years of asking and hoping, EASA is finally coming to Ireland....a long journey since the early days, nearly 6 years ago now, when Ireland recovered from being a "Lost country" and a few Paddys wandered out to participate in EASA 02 @ Samogar, Vis, Croatia...
Other interesting eco things happening in Ireland:
Convergence 13: Transition Strategies...Post Carbon Cities, Transition Towns and Eco-Villages
It seems that a lot of things have moved in the last 2 years since: that eco city idea is starting to take off in china, and even more since those special days in Banja Luka, Bosnia trying to make our first eco city.
So with all this talk and action, maybe some day Dublin city might actually get its Botanic Spine
and the aul town might become an eco city, as Torbjorn Lahti pointed out "changing the world is easy, we've done it"
Anyway, thats enough from EIG (eco intelligent growth) here in Barcelona
