You can't do anything in New York without being fashionably late, so I caught up with the March for Peace organized by United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ) at Canal on my way into the city from good ol' Bklyn around 1pm.

NEZAHUALCOYOTL, MEXICO STATE, APRIL 26, 2006: Zapatista Subcomandante Marcos was received this afternoon by thousands of urban workers from the rough-and-tumble metropolis of Nezahualcoyotl that borders Mexico City. Street vendors, factory, retail and construction workers, laid off meatpackers, taxi and bus drivers, teachers, immigrants from Oaxaca and other Mexican states, and former immigrants that returned from working in the United States, plus their sons and daughters from grade schools, junior highs, and high schools – many who flocked directly from class to the afternoon rally in front of City Hall still wearing their school uniforms – gave “Delegate Zero” a warm and attentive welcome.

The war in Iraq has now lasted longer than the entire Korean War. Yet, our political leadership in Washington continues on the same disastrous course. We need a new direction that will bring our troops home.

Tomorrow, Saturday, April 29th, there is a massive "March for Peace,
Justice and Democracy" in New York City organized by United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ) to demonstrate against the war.

European Cultural Policies 2015: A Report with Scenarios on the Future of Public Funding for Contemporary Art in Europe

A collaboration between Iaspis, eipcp and åbäke

http://www.eipcp.net/

From the introduction:

In 2015 art is almost completely instrumentalised in the economic sense, regardless of whether financing is private or public. Art then services either national or European interests that wish to construct a certain identity: it is a desirable marketable commercial good for private ownership and it contributes to regional development and provides society with new creative employment opportunities.
