UN GIORNO SENZA RIFUGIO.

GREECE, JUNE 2011

after almost one year since we left Greece, the country is facing ever harder times, please read bits from a letter which will be featured on Café Babel:

I also hope to see new leaders coming from this situation, leaders not from the top, not from the same political families. Papandreou or Samaras (head of political opposition) who have never worked in their lives, how do we expect they understand "I do not have money to pay your taxes"... in oder to preserve your system...at the end

Moreover, one of the main danger is for syndicalists and left political parties to try and profit from these gatherings in order to present the situation as they want. This can not be more further from the truth, because people that go there, we do not want to have any syndicalists or political party invasion. 

About the result, I would be very happy to see people react, especially young people reacting and start discussing about politics (youngsters, the last years have been so appalled by politics that they turned their head and back on everything that had to do with politics) , and of course above all to see the political class in Greece shreking. Shreking their status! This is why I was in favour of circling the Greek Parliament, for the symbol itself.

I strongly believe many important crimes are not written in the penal code. Like the crime of falsifying  or adultarating the wilingness of a person or of a whole people.

Yassou Reader, 

after all the wonderful experiences on couchsurfing, I am sure this won't be in vain..
http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/atopos/ I will finally be coming to Greece.. and not alone! Together with my wife, Katrina Tan, a digital artist from the Philippines, will be spending one month in Hellada starting on sept 11th. My idea is to start up a blog (which I'm doing now) and have people suggest us stories, locations, characters to interview and such. As I don't speak greek, I will be asking others to help me, but for now I put it on in english. In return for filming the video (which we will produce and postproduce directly on the spot, if possible) we will just need free accomodation, in order to also film something on 'Greek hospitality, does crisis help?' Who knows?! How do you like my idea?
You just need to SUGGEST US: TOPICS, PLACES, PEOPLE TO INTERVIEW and we help you tell the story YOU wanted to tell. 
Please help us by contacts, logistics or collaborators. Also, check out here: http://www.createculture.org/forum/topics/seeking-collaborators-video?xg_source=activity - featuring CREATECULTURE.ORG


here is the last activity by Atopos TOWARD THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ADRIATIC: BALKANS IN ANKON. A one.week event hosting 4 young artists from Albania, Bosnia H., Romania and Serbia.
