Ottakaa kaupunki – Mallorcan kaupunkiviljely-mallilla
March 25th, 2012Mallorcalla hyrräävä Toma la Ciudad kehottaa toimimaan vaatimisen ja anomisen sijaan. Joutomaiden valtaaminen sissiviljelyllä yhteisön hyväksi toimii heidän mukaansa rakentavana keinona lopettaa elämänsä yleisönä oleminen.
“Once upon a time, there were collective spaces where people lived together and took decisions amongst equals, cultivated dialogue, fraternal cooperation and work for the common benefit.
Nowadays, our lives have been mortgaged to a political and economical system that has impoverished us and made us more dependent.
They called the political irresponsibility of putting in someone else’s hands the affairs that matter to us “freedom”.
We were educated within a childish and selfish outlook, articulating society in closed compartments where ruthlessness and mistrust prevail, rather than collaboration and respect.
We were “the people” and they made us “the public”, we gave up being actors to become dejected spectators of a life managed from above……We are not here to do abstract demands, it is not enough to be indignant, we are here to meet each other, populate a space and take life in our hands.”
