Occupation at University of Sussex
Submitted by anthony on Tuesday, 9 February, 2010 - 10:02
Anon http://defendsussex.wordpress.com/2010/02/08/occupation-statement-1/ We have occupied the top floor of Bramber House, University of Sussex, Brighton. There are 106 of us. The decision to occupy has been taken after weeks of concerted campaigning during which the university management have repeatedly failed to take away the threat of compulsory redundancies and course cuts. We recognise that an attack on education workers is an attack on us. subject: Europe | Financial Crisis | Occupations

Stefan Szczelkun Heavily influenced by the Black Wave or dissident Yugoslav cinema of her childhood, artist Nada Prlja considers its unique balancing act between iconoclasm and idealism, individualism and communism to be exemplary. In an interview with Stefan Szczelkun, Prlja talks about the cultural context of communist Yugoslavia and its mutation into a consumer culture - a shift that her artwork pivots on

Fertile sounds of ripe Polish hip-hop
Submitted by CJ.Lotz on Wednesday, 20 May, 2009 - 17:23
CJ Lotz The room smelled like a beer-drenched cement basement. Industrial piping hung low, visible in the moody lighting only when flash bulbs popped. As soon as Polish hip-hop artist Fisz took the back-room stage at Cargo Sunday night, mobiles slid out of pockets to snap photos and hands drew cameras out of their purse holsters. Fisz and his band, along with producer Emade, are musical mavericks in Poland. They capped off the "Fertilizer Festival: Good Shit from Poland" in a night that was as surprising as the words "Polish hip-hop."

Communist rule stifled the distribution of albums in Poland in the 60s and 70s, so teenagers made popular their own form of musical exchange: the Pocztowka Dzwiekowa, or Sound Postcard.
