Tactics of Protest Now
This discussion explores tactical media in contemporary culture and social movements. In response to a deep economic, political, and cultural crisis, new social movements are challenging the dominant political and economic order. Tactical media, David Garcia says, has emerged through, 'the impact of the rise of small-scale DIY media, tools and networks in art, social and political activism, and the rise of new social movements.' How can tactical media connect with and re-contextualise the traditional methods of propaganda and create new alternative forms of action for the future?

A User's Guide to Demanding the Impossible
Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination
This guide is not a road map or instruction manual. It's a match struck
in the dark, a homemade multi-tool to help you carve out your own path
through the ruins of the present, warmed by the stories and strategies
of those who took Bertolt Brecht's words to heart: "Art is not a mirror
held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it."
Oliver Ressler
Artist and flimmaker
Born in Knittelfeld, Austria, in 1970, lives and works in Vienna.
