CULTURE OF RESISTANCE FESTIVAL AGAINST GLOBALISATION - Sun 11th Nov 2001
OUR WORLD IS NOT FOR SALE!
Those in favour of globalisation say increasing world trade and market liberalisation
through free trade blocks, multilateral agreements such as the WTO, and global financial
institutions such as the World Bank and the IMF, should make everyone richer. But,
behind the promises of prosperity there exists a grim reality: Transnational corporations
now control more than 60% of all global trade while at the same time farmers are forced
off their lands to make way for large-scale monoculture crops for export. Workers lose
jobs to machines and corporate flight. Women are forced to sell their bodies in the tourism
industry. Indigenous peoples forced off their lands for short-term mining profits. And, as
they wait for globalisation's unseen rewards, these people are rapidly losing any
democratic space that they may have had to voice their opposition to these policies and to
seek their rightful dues.
CULTURE OF RESISTANCE FESTIVAL AGT GLOBALISATION
In conjunction with the Nov 9-13 International Days of GLOBAL ACTION against the
WTO's New Round of Negotiations in Qatar from Nov 9-13, Ana. K.'s Kolektif presents the
Culture of Resistance Festival Against Globalisation which seeks to provoke and explore
issues on the globalisation debate with a cultural festival of alternative films, exhibitions,
workshops, poetry readings, zine fair, and concert.
Date : Sun 11th Nov 2001
Time : 12.00pm-9.00 pm
Place : The Box, Actors Studio, Dataran Merdeka, KL
Free passes at door on first come basis.
Programme:
Activist Art Xbit, Zine Fest & Infopoint
12.00pm-end Check it out: Art & Activism
The Festival Open Space is the convergence point featuring Activist Art Xbit with
exhibitions and installations addressing the impact of globalisation and the consumer
lifestyles we have embraced.
Tired of bourgeois pulp? Checkout the Zine & Book Fair for some uneasy reading on
local/international politics & activism while the Infopoint will provide you opportunities to
get involved in campaigns/activities of various non-governments organizations.
Workshop
2.00pm Activity Workshop : T-shirt Printing
Keen on making statements of your own instead of being a slave to corporate logos? This
live demo will allow you to try your hand at making statements and an opportunity to 'dye'
for your politics. Stop being a fashion victim. Start victimizing fashion.
Concert:
3.00-7.00pm Culture of Resistance Against Globalisation Concert & Film Screening
Extended play of uneasy listening with poetry, spoken word, music and films of resistance
with recently-declared independent bands, musicians and troubled poets seek to drown
the voice of Babylon with some stirring acoustic performances.
Come to listen or maybe read something of your own.
(Note : Performances and films will be screened intermittently according to schedule)
Political Films:
3.00 pm Short : Oracion (Cuba, 1963) 7 mins - Spanish with English subtitles
Based on a poem by Ernesto Cardenal, this brilliant short film layers the life of Marilyn
Monroe as a metaphor for a young and exploited Latin American country.
4.00 pm Documentary : Crisis Of Capitalism Leads to the Hope of Labour
(South Korea, 1998) 37mins - South Korean with English subtitles
An inside look at labour activism in South Korea.
5.00pm Documentary : Dolls and Dust
(South Korea, Thailand, Sri Lanka, 1998)
Produced during the currency and economic crisis of 1998, this award winning video (4th
Internationale VideOlympiade in South Africa 1998) presents first account testimonies
from women workers in Sri Lanka, Thailand and South Korea on the impact of industrial
restructuring, globalisation, and '(m)ale development' on their lives, communities and the
environment.
7.00pm Feature: Manufacturing Consent
The Political Economy of the Mass Media
(USA,1992) English
As relevant today as when it first came out, Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky, depict
how contrary to the usual image of the press as objective in its search for truth, an
underlying elite consensus largely structures all facets of the news, in which the
marketplace and the economics of publishing significantly shape the news. It contrasts the
double standards underlying accounts of free elections, free press, and governmental
repression between Nicaragua and El Salvador; between the Russian invasion of
Afghanistan and the American invasion of Vietnam; between the genocide in Cambodia
under a pro-American government and genocide under Pol Pot. What emerges from this
pathbreaking work is an account of just how propagandistic the mass media is, and how
their ideological agenda dictates how issues are framed and topics chosen.
