About Me
- Laurie Price
- From 2009: A poet and artist, I've moved back and forth between using language and objects for a long time. The challenge? Creating something from nothing. But as there really is no such thing as nothing, I gather and redistribute. This goes for writing and object making. The sources are multiple, various and continuous. // En 2009 escribí: Poeta y artista, me he movido de un lado a otro entre usar lenguaje y objetos durante mucho tiempo. ¿El reto? Crear algo de la nada. Pero como realmente no existe la nada, lo que hago es juntar y redistribuir. Esto se aplica a la escritura y la fabricación de objetos. Las fuentes son múltiples, variadas y continuas. The original blog: © 2009-2022 Laurie Price | All rights reserved. Gracious economies #2: © August 2023. Laurie Price. | All rights reserved.

ReplyDeleteI want to rescind what I wrote in my email about what's going on here and in the rest of Spain.
ReplyDeleteGiven that Franco died in 1975, this country's politics changed very quickly but at the same time, that transition bred so much hope that there really hasn't been any organized citizen movement that addressed how the power shifts functioned. Spain calls itself a democracy, but the levels of corruption that exist & that I've witnessed here firsthand are in direct opposition to that.
So now, many days after this initial, mostly spontaneous uprising the focus is quickly becoming transformed and the Indignados have separated into work groups, where they are dicussing specific issues that could lead to ...? (anyone's guess, I think) -- It's heartening, it's mostly young, it's enthusiastic and I'm loving the fact that I am witnessing this very engaged and serious consideration of where things go from here. Bravo! Hats off to this movement!
