In the last year the slogan and the demand noborder nonation represented a focus,
which related Austrian resistant formations with global protest movements. This year the poltical
and cultural network-collective noborder (with activists from the
PublixTheatreCarawan,
The art of hour is resistance,
www.no-racism.net,
mayday 2000, radio orango/helsinki,
indymedia) is organising and creating a videoprogramm within the
austrian Filmfestival Diagonale and a independent Mediaproject in public space: the noborder-Zone.
Greater international exchange promotes anti-racist and anti-national cultural realtions
and concreticises resistant work. The contents are continuously altered in the context of
globalisation: Independent Mediawork, network of demonstrations, direct actions are manifestations
against the international Project of deportation and exclsuions.
The creation of a counter-publicity means also that monitoring events is part of political
action with concrete demands and aims.
The videoprogramm noborder - nonation,
, that is featured for the first time in the
Austrian Filmfestival Diagonale (19.3.-14-3-2002, Schubertkino2), includes the two
titels: Summer of resistance and For the Right for the freedom of movement.: One
Video reviews the first Anti-globalisation demonstration in the wake of the much
publicised demonstrations in Seattle, Prag, Davos, Quebec and Gothenborg. Further
subject is the G8-Meeting in Genova and also the international noborder actions, in
which the PublixTheatreCaravane was one project. A special discurse emphasises a
contribution from the Czech Republic: In september 2000 demonstrations against the
IWF
Worldbank meeting took palce authentic discussions in the Global Village Carnival.
The noborder-Zone (21.-23.3.2002) in the inner city of Graz (Tummelplatz), which will run
concurrently with The Diagonale filmfestival, includes a comprehensive programm with the multiple
Theme: Globalisation Migration Resistance. This is intended as an expansion of the mediaproject
in public space: In the noborder-Zone you can visit in 2 Busses and a container a videolounge, an
exhibition and a info-media center for multimedia reports via radio, video and audio-streams. Streetparties,
public cooking and performances will be also part of the stream of events. Every evening from 10pm on, there
will be a noborder-afterhour at the studentrooms on University of Graz with djanes and visuals. On saturday
the Lie of performance will be presented by the PublixTheatre in the Uni-T-Conatiner.
Furthermore a discussion with the topic Where is Marcus Omofuma? will take place on 19th of March at
the Forum Stadtpark: The
Trial of the three policeofficers, accused of responsibility for Omofuma´s death,
began on March 4th 2002.
The aim of the project is to create counter publicity as an important meaning of political awareness
building: noborder nonation no one is illegal for the right for the freedom of movement.
