1. On the event
With Chris Lee and Ultra-red and Joaap
(issue 8 Contributors)
We were thinking about the "debt crisis" and activism/art after that fact. We stumbled upon
the question of circulation (stuff moving round) and how we mobilize ourselves and are mobilized by things around us.
What is it we can make and do for each other?

Chris Lee - is a free-lance graphic designer from Canada, but currently based in The Netherlands, where he graduated from the Sandberg Institute (Amsterdam). While at the Sandberg, he engaged in a practice focusing on speculative visualizations of (alternative) currencies, and their attendant institutions and ephemera. He has also facilitated several workshops on currency where the task is to develop a currency system and in so doing, to discuss and articulate the operation and dynamics of power and money without a heavy reliance on stratified knowledge and expert jargon. He is currently designer and editorial-board member of the journal Scapegoat: Landscape, Architecture, Political Economy.
Ultra-red - is an international sound art collective founded in 1994. While the visual image serves as the foundation for most discussions of political art, Ultra-red turn the focus to the ear: the sound of communities organizing themselves, the acoustics of spaces of dissent, the demands and desires in our voices and in our silences, pedagogy in language and speech, and the echoes of historical memories of struggle. Ultra-red members are currently conducting sound investigations in Berlin, Los Angeles, New York, as well as Torbay and London, UK.

3. Laboratory of Insurectionary Imagination event in Hamburg this summer
Fear Me No More: Performance, Activism and Permaculture.
A free workshop with the Laboratory of Insurectionary Imagination.
Hamburg, Kampnagel. August 2012.
“It reminds us of the time when it was still possible for free theatre
to try out a loving anarchic social utopia… This is about saying goodbye
to representation and is therefore the most radical form of theatre”
-Frankfurter Rundschau.

-Frankfurter Rundschau.
Fear Me No More aims to make productive connections between artists and
activists within the framework of Permaculture. A set of tools for
building a postcapitalist society, Permaculture teaches us to mimic the
efficiency, diversity and resilience of natural ecosystems. This
fulltime workshop is an ideal introduction for those wishing to explore
new forms of creative resistance and horizontal politics.

5. Midwest Radical Culture Corridor releases a new book
Whoot, there it is. The folks at the Midwest Radical Culture Cooridor do it again!
Deep Routes: the Midwest in All Directions is a collection of stories about learning where we are – by inhabiting, traversing, and exchanging narratives in the expansive region that some people call the Midwest Radical Culture Corridor. Emerging from a geologic territory shaped by retreating Pleistocene ice sheets and further carved by generations of plant, animal and human habitation, these essays contemplate another planetary shift that has transformed our very existence: global neoliberal capitalism. The authors critically reflect on the nature of territory, citizenship, mobility and the possibilities for a more just and egalitarian society. Drawing from sites within the the Midwest (such as parts of Minneapolis, Detroit, Rockford, Madison, Southern Illinois) and excursions far beyond it (locales as distant as Togo, China and Argentina) the twenty-seven contributors explore the wealth of associations these many journeys have nurtured.
A Project by Compass Collaborators
Edited by Rozalinda Borcila, Bonnie Fortune and Sarah Ross
With contributions from: Phil Bellfy , Jen Blair, Rozalinda Borcilă, Nicholas Brown, Alan Corbiere , Jill Doerfler , Bonnie Fortune, Ryan Griffis, Abbilyn Harmon, Brian Holmes, Sarah Kanouse, Nicholas Lampert, Sarah Lewison, Jenna Loyd, Don Lyons, Dylan Miner, Faranak Miraftab, Shiri Pasternak, Claire Pentecost, Ryan Rice, Matthias Regan, Sarah Ross, Kristin Schimik, Heath Schultz, Daniel Tucker, Dan S. Wang, and Mike Wolf
Compass Collaborators grows from an association of 14 artists and activists who have been exploring the ties and relationships between global economic trends and on-the-ground lives in disparate neighborhoods, cities, and rural regions. This book is our second editorial investigation of the radical Midwest, a record of encounters, regional knowledge production, and gestures toward reciprocal self-recognition.
