Toby Huddlestone par “Walk the Line” gājienu 10.novembrī.

Jau iepriekš minēts, ka Rīgā pie Brīvības pieminekļa, 10.novembrī, iesāksies savdabīgs flašmobs kā protests pret protestu. Dzīvās mākslas festivāla “Exchange Radical Moments” ietvaros, plkst. 16:00, visi aicināti pievienoties akcijai “Walk the Line”, kuras laikā notiks gājiens cauri pilsētai, pa pašu ceļa vidu no Brīvības pieminekļa līdz pat Uzvaras parkam. Šajā rakstā sīkāk par akcijas iniciatoru Tobiju Hadlstounu (Toby Huddlestone) un viņa idejām.

10.novembrī notiks publisks gājiens cauri pilsētai.

Video apathy

Here is the video version of Toby's Lecture Apathy.

Part history lesson, part political campaign, Lecture Apathy is a lecture performance that studies a 20th Century history of dissent/disobedience and subversion and identifies the 1990’s as the moment where the more overt and polar version of dissent (sticking your fingers up to authority) becomes outmoded or antiquated, which in turn leads to the suggestion of apathy as political aggressor/voice. The scripted performance is backed-up with fast-paced slides showing these moments of dissent leading to images of apathy and protest apathy. The performance becomes more apathetic as it continues towards an apolitical stance.

Come meet and make this project yours!

Meetings open to the public will be taking place daily in Riga from 7 November up until the moment the walk begins on 10 November, to discuss the ideas behind the walk, how you can get involved, and how you can change the idea for the work if you want to. Watch this space!
