PGA Global Envoy

Global Envoy - The idea for this project is a newspaper that circulates online and in print, collecting stories from different resistance movements worldwide. The online database for the global justice movement,  http://www.all4all.org, can serve as a beginning space of organizing local stories. The "publishing center" can rotate from one place to another, giving the newspaper a different localized flavor every time, with possible thematic or regional focus. This newspaper might also include artwork and/or poetry, analytical or editorial pieces, photographs from different struggles and events, as well as educational resources, links, and contacts to groups participating in the network. The process of distributing the "Envoy" through paper and online channel requires further consideration, keeping in mind issues of translation and the disproportionate access that groups may have to the internet, as well as to copier machines. The blog site  http://deletetheborder.org/blog will hopefully organize the process as it develops along.

PGA Cultures in Action Package

The PGA "Cultures in Action" Package is a project to create a tangible, circulating 'capsule' that contains a collection of music, artwork, poetry, stories, movies, culture maps, and tokens of protest from various (ever-growing) PGA inspired groups worldwide. This capsule can be sent out and recieved, one could make copies of its contents, one could contribute to it for it to expand. It is intended to be a kind of mobile "withoutborders-rebellion-culture-festival-in-a-package" that is both personalized and transcommunal. So it actually travels, by mail or from hand-to-hand as a capsule (or many capsules) with a kaleidescopic protest and alternative nature. The content, costs for shipping&handling, packaging, versatility etc. need to be worked out. Input and collaboration greatly appreciated!
