Disrupting
the Spectacle
All of the information we receive is mediated
and comes via an overwhelmingly one way transmission.
Interrupt, detourne and subvert - we take a look at the
ownership of public space, history and politics of culture
jamming, idea bombs and artistic dissent. The emphasis
is D.I.Y and the author is you.

Stories

like? What is the relationship between media and the survival

media activity in australia now and historically, and
the difference between the media presenting Indigenous
people and Indigenous people presenting the media... with

Grrl-Tech-Friendly
The sounds of blips, beats, sampling and
skratchadelika are easy to access, easier to name. But
why does being taken seriously as a maker of those sounds
seem to depend on what gender you are and how many hours
you can afford to spend in your bedroom? Three female
techno, hiphop and electronica makers word up on the invisible
rules surrounding ‘boy toys’ and the invention of stategies
for skill-sharing and getting taken seriously in an un-girl-tech-friendly
world.

Alternative
to What?
Does independent media really achieve what

all levels of media.

Misrepresenting the Movement
By virtue of the interests that it
serves and structure that it adheres to the media often
stereotypes and marginalises groups and individuals.
The media plays an extremely powerful role - these (mis)representations
often impact on broader societal expectation of these
groups - even within activist communities. Four speakers
explore the modes and effects of this stereotyping.

Strategic Activism
Many of us work in an environment of
relative comfort, often dealing with issues on behalf
of peoples who may have a different culture and experience
from our own. But are we stopping and thinking carefully
about what we are doing? Are we making assumptions about
our tactics? Do our plans extend beyond the 15 minutes?
Two 'globalised' activists share their experiences and
provide us with insights in to style, strategy and sustainability.

Breathing Space
We are denied access and input in to
most all of the spaces around us - be these spaces in
the so called 'public domain' of arts and media, our
education systems or our street scapes. This denial
of access is demonstrated through private ownership
of property, the occupation of land and territories,
and the ability of businesses to own and gatekeep information.
This evening will feature a critical discussion on the
idea of ‘space’ from alternative and activist media
spaces, autonomous and reclaimed urban spaces, and the
need for Indigenous people to create spaces for symbolic
and physical ownership of the land and culture of Australia.
Speakers are Naomi Klein, Tony Birch and Gavin
Sullivan.
Please note: Naomi Klein will be giving
a public talk for Readings Bookshop on Monday 16th July.
If you are after autographs, please attend that event
:-)
