She is part of a wave as a Political Art Practice’ of new media artists rejecting the notion that craft and technology are In the early 2000’s, the Maker directly opposed.

By bringing together Maktivism in July 2019. and Craftivism in my work, I aim to forge an effective feminist political art medium that explores current exploitative economic systems controlling the production of textiles, and information and communication technologies. By allowing artists to subvert physical spaces and expand on them through digital content in order to engage activist communities, I believe new media artists can create something that is more like the hybrid digital-physical lives we lead. In combining Maktivism (Maker +Activism) and Craftivism (Craft + Activism), a more effective political art medium is created. This combination serves to critique not only targeted political issues, and I feel this combination also provides a medium to question current exploitative economic systems that control the production of textiles, as well as information and communication technology (ICT), and our societal values expressed through our technologies.

Jon Blackwood Dr. Jon Blackwood is currently a ‘After the Captured State: Reader in Contemporary Art, and Contemporary Artists, Digital leads research, at Gray’s School of Art, Strategies and Political Action in North Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen.

In answering these questions, we will develop two specific strands of inquiry into (digital) art and activism. Firstly, we will consider group work as a response to authoritarian politics; we will consider the use of humour and the crude aesthetics of advertising in the case of the artist duo OPA (Obsessive Possessive Aggression), and their nuanced digital response to the politics of the Macedonian space. Secondly, we will note the use of digital guerrilla tactics by groups such as Sviracinje and anonymous visual protestors who use the power of social media to multiply the impacts of their activism. Finally, in the political sphere, we will consider the relationship between contemporary art and activism in the Macedonian space from 2015-19, and note the tensions and dissonances that resulted. In adopting a case study approach it is hoped to open out the complexities of the Macedonian space but also to draw parallels between individual and group case studies, with cartographies of struggle elsewhere in the globe.

En cierto sentido, siempre ha sido así: la sede del poder político en Westminster y el centro financiero de la City se Lestablecieron allí desde la Edad Media. Tuvo que hacer frente al desafío que supuso, hasta cierto punto, la aparición de grandes conurbaciones fabriles en las Midlands y el norte de Inglaterra, en Escocia y en el sur de Gales desde principios del siglo xix, pero el eclipse del poder industrial británico desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial ha reforzado la preemi- nencia de Londres. Los límites de la ciudad albergan casi 9 millones de habitantes, un récord histórico, sin incluir una enorme área metro- politana que abarca aproximadamente 14 millones de personas que trabajan en la capital, lo que supone alrededor de cinco veces el tamaño de sus rivales más cercanas en el Reino Unido (el Gran Manchester, Birmingham y Glasgow).

  • 97 APPENDIX A2a Comments On
    APPENDIX A2a Comments on Lewisham Gateway Note: Comments in Italics refer to comments were made by visitors to the LPA Exhibition 88 Adelaide Avenue Concerned that the road system will not work and the scheme will worsen traffic. The objector also feels that the proposals to move the Quaggy and take away Charlottenburg Gardens will be detrimental to the environment. There must be other ways to improve the roundabout without damaging the area in a way that the proposed scheme will inevitably do. 6 Algernon Road He objects as the site is not suitable for the density of development proposed along with the traffic and pollution problems the development will caused. The plans are not in keeping with London policy in terms of treatment of rivers, care in proposing high rise solutions, loss of green space, alignment of development plans and transport capacity etc. A very low proportion of the housing units are to be made available as affordable housing and he questions the suitability of the site for hou sing. Also questions the business case for a mass of office space when there are large expanses of empty offices close by. The development is being driven by the developer’s business/profit model. The changes to the road system have not been proven to i mprove the situation and it is possible that the new arrangements would make the situation significantly worse. 107 Algernon Road The objector sees no proof that the proposed road system will work and fears that traffic will get worse, especially given all the other developments proposed.

The Pepys Estate was a monolithic concentration of public housing and it makes sense to break that up a bit and bring in a different mix of incomes and people with spending power.’ Pat Hayes, LB Lewisham, Director of Regeneration You have castrated communities. You have colonies of low income people, living in houses provided by the local authorities, and you have the higher income groups living in their own colonies. This segregation of the different income groups is a wholly evil thing, from a civilised point of view… We should try to introduce what was always the lovely feature of English and Welsh villages, where the doctor, the grocer, the butcher and the farm labourer all lived in the same street – the living tapestry of a mixed community.

  • A Comparative Analysis of Artist Prints and Print Collecting at the Imperial War Museum and Australian War M
    Bold Impressions: A Comparative Analysis of Artist Prints and Print Collecting at the Imperial War Museum and Australian War Memorial Alexandra Fae Walton A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Australian National University, June 2017. © Copyright by Alexandra Fae Walton, 2017 DECLARATION PAGE I declare that this thesis has been composed solely by myself and that it has not been submitted, in whole or in part, in any previous application for a degree. Except where stated otherwise by reference or acknowledgement, the work presented is entirely my own. Acknowledgements I was inspired to write about the two print collections while working in the Art Section at the Australian War Memorial. The many striking and varied prints in that collection made me wonder about their place in that museum – it being such a special yet conservative institution in the minds of many Australians. The prints themselves always sustained my interest in the topic, but I was also fortunate to have guidance and assistance from a number of people during my research, and to make new friends. Firstly, I would like to say thank you to my supervisors: Dr Peter Londey who gave such helpful advice on all my chapters, and who saw me through the final year of the PhD; Dr Kylie Message who guided and supported me for the bulk of the project; Dr Caroline Turner who gave excellent feedback on chapters and my final oral presentation; and also Dr Sarah Scott and Roger Butler who gave good advice from a prints perspective. Thank you to Professor Joan Beaumont, Professor Helen Ennis and Professor Diane Davis from the Australian National University (ANU) for making the time to discuss my thesis with me, and for their advice.

I was also privileged to witness the creation of The Lambeth Black Families Forum (LBFF) this year chaired by our very own Sandra Moodie and Vince McBean from The West Indian and ex Service Personnel (WASP) and supported by Lambeth Police and the Council. An Inspirational moment In April 2011 saw: Ivelaw Bowman, Cheryl Sealy and Wesley Stephenson honoured by Operation Trident Occupational Command Unit with Commendations for work above and beyond the call. This was a moment where we all publicly acknowledged CPCG for Lambeth and the work we do as we believe: 'the group is the group and we stand for something together' I have seen the tears and despair of families coping with the loss of loved ones gunned down or tragically stabbed in their prime due to gang or area code issues or death following police contact. More alarmingly, is the on-going question of our youth service and the youth clubs available to them as their environment seems to be vanishing right before their eyes.

  • C20 CA Project Short Reports on Potential Conservation Areas
    Conservation Areas Project Potential Conservation Areas Short Reports December 2017 CONTENTS 1.0 Introduction Section 10.3.2 of the Brief for the Twentieth Century Society Conservation Areas Project requires the research consultants ‘to prepare summaries of around 50 areas that have potential for future conservation area status, providing information on their location, the architect, date of construction, borough, one or two images and a short paragraph about the site’. These short reports are listed in Section 2.0 below, and the full reports follow, in numerical order. All the short reports follow a standard format which was agreed by the Steering Group for the Project (see appendix 3 of the Scoping Report). The reports are intended principally as identifiers not as full descriptions. In line with the research strategy, they are the result of a desk-based assessment. The historic information is derived mainly from secondary sources and the pictures are taken largely from the Web (and no copyright clearance for future publication has been obtained). No specific boundaries are suggested for the potential conservation areas because any more formal proposals clearly need to be based on thorough research and site inspection. 2.0 List of Potential Conservation Areas Historic County Area Name Local Planning Record Authority Number Berkshire Blossom Avenue, Theale West Berkshire 01 Buckinghamshire Energy World Milton Keynes 02 Buckinghamshire Woolstone Milton Keynes 03 Cheshire The Brow, Runcorn Halton 04 Devon Sladnor Park Torquay 05 Dorset
