FUSPEY is a direction to work toward, individually and as a network. Creativity is a very powerful tool for change, we are trying to use art to communicate and to challenge (in a non-violent way)
a revolution in perception

FUSPEY - get involved

Last night was the first FUSPEY Irish event, it was also an Indymedia public screening. Strangers watched a very important film, Globalisation And The Media

Unfortunately the 35second film of what FUSPEY is about could not be shown, but you can watch it here

Strangers met each other and developed ideas on how to get more people aware of stuff and involved with stuff- ie the INDYnews at one o clock from moore st. in a few weeks time. The previous IMC post How can things develop for Indymedia Ireland? explored other interesting ideas which were discussed last night

More interesting and exciting things can be found at FUSPEY projects

in 1989 150 people had a protest in berlin FOR tolerance understanding and respect between nations, they choose to be creative and had a techno party

10 years later there was 1.5 million (1,500,000) people dancing on the streets of Berlin for the BERLIN LOVE PARADE, and it was brilliant

the main focus of this year for FUSPEY is the event next summer in the French city Lille, 2004 city of culture. We will be part of the EASA network, there will be 500-1000 of us and this network will be 1 of 5 networks working from a derelict building that is being turned into the “cultural machine”.
Last year EASA built an Eco pavilion in the Danish eco village friland http://www.dr.dk/friland/index_english.htm
which featured on mainstream Danish tv as well as indymedia. Next summer we hope to build a mobile information dissemination vehicle. We will also create lots of interesting events. A Manu Chao global community of sorts is one of the other networks involved with this Lille project

There will be FUSPEY events, films, wanders, talks, workshops, dart parties, exhibitions…. Every week. Anyone can get invovled
Next week we will probably be screening the film BARAKA in DIT bolton st.
Which is simply one of the most beautiful and awe inspiring films you might ever see

I nearly forgot, things ended in a firework party last night. A fine start.
