3rd march – Urgent Help Wanted (Townhead site)

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010
March 3, 2010
5:30 pmto6:30 pm
We will also be meeting up in the evening on 3rd March at the same place, probably between about 5:30 and 6pm for the filmingof a BBC programme.   To make the most of this opportunity we really need a big turnout and if you can spare the time to help us out we’d be very grateful.   Media can be very helpful in attracting funding and willing volunteers -both of which we’re desperately short of,  so it would be beneficial to the group as a whole if we make a success of this.
If you’d like to attend on either or ideally both days can you please respond to this message or email  so that we have an idea of numbers.  If you haven’t attended before you’d be more than welcome on either day.

Guerilla garden in Athens

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Hi!my name is Stefania and I come from Greece.I am an architect/artist , now studying at the MFA Art, Space and nature of ECA, Edinburgh.My research project is based on the idea of gardening as a means of political manifestation and re-occupation of land.This subject stems from a research I have been doing on a guerrilla garden in Athens, which was created right after the 2009 riots.

I would be very interested in meeting and having a talk with some of you involved in the guerrilla gardening projects.I would also be happy to present some information for the garden in Athens if people were interested.

Would it be possible to meet with some of the people organizing/participating in your projects.I think it would be valuable to have some feedback on how these projects are developed and if the same rules could apply for the city of Athens.

all the best
stefania
