This is a real ‘web’, just like a spider’s – a place of connections – ideas – information – of dreams!
Our aim is to make it a Web of Hubs for alternative and free cultural spaces and people
The idea is to provide a loose-knit, non-hierarchical, web-based resource network for a wide range of what we are calling ‘Free Cultural Spaces’ (FCS). They wouldn’t necessarily use that term to describe themselves, but we need a simple, non-threatening term!
Description AK Press is a UK-based workers’ collective publishing and distributing radical publications and material. The site also includes interesting articles about collectives and anarchism in practice.
Description Alan Lodge, better known as Tash. This is his portal to extensive sites featuring photos, words and more about festivals, Travellers, environmental protests and more. Mainly UK.
Description Links to the life and times of Albert Bates, American author, long time communard at the Farm Eco-village, and permaculture ambassador. The article intros states: “We are in a crisis in the evolution of human society. It’s unique to both human and geologic history. It has never happened before and it can’t possibly happen again. Albert Bates, author of ‘The Financial Collapse Survival Guide and Cookbook’, brings you along on his personal journey.”
Lots of Hub links too.
Description USA-based, but worldwide info on artist (in the wide sense of the word) residency programmes.
The site states: “Your one-stop guide to residencies for visual artists, writers, composers, choreographers, scholars, filmmakers, community artists, architects, and more - around the world and in your backyard. Hundreds of residencies, endless possibilities!”
Description German/World Festivals like Fusion, astounding street art, street people and amazing spaces. Worlds less visited and known.
A useful hub site you can you use to discover and learn more about Berlin’s remarkably creative underbelly...it’s a business offering tours of the city…but a positive and dynamic one.
Description A google link to Tony Kelbrat’s alternative schools’ worldwide listings from the book, ‘People Power: Education Superbook 12’. Some fairly strong opinions on what constitutes ‘education’.
Description Modern nomads in the US of A.
BBC documentary meeting and exploring the dream of nomadism. “Sleeping in the dirt.” “Unplanned journeys on the serendipity of the road.” “Freedom and hardship.” "Girls selling blowjobs.” Enlightening, real and unsettling.
Description Amnesty International is a major mover and shaker in a world that grows weary of conflicts.
They say: “Through our detailed research and determined campaigning, we help fight abuses of human rights worldwide. We bring torturers to justice. Change oppressive laws. And free people jailed just for voicing their opinion.”
Description The Anarchist Library. Lots of ‘stuff’, but a bit messy. Includes link to the wiki-bookshelf.
Description Anarcho-punk Net. Music, anarchism, politics and general ‘stuff’. Some of it may offend, perhaps rightly so...
