Enough is Enough
A radical protest hub site.
Agree or disagree, it’s challenging, controversial and gets the brain ticking!
Exist to Resist is:
A 2017 hardback photo book from Matt Smith focusing on the underground culture of ‘resistance’ in the UK.
Particularly looks at the Traveller, protest and rave scenes. Very hands-on.
Festival Eye magazine features news and info about the more alternative-style festies, mostly UK-focused. Worth checking out some of the older issues.
The website’s intention is: “A COMMUNITY-POWERED LEARNING LIBRARY AND ALTERNATIVE NEWS CENTER - FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD.”
Links to thousands of challenging films and clips.
Floating Neutrinos are a diverse floating community of water-borne dwellers and adventurers. Not just about scrap-raft building and living AND sailing rafts across the Atlantic Ocean. But, about sustainability and freedom to a home in an over-crowded world. Under Poppa Neutrino, Captain Betsy and others they have also developed what they call ‘triadic’ thinking and methods to self-repair.
They are pretty awesome! And 'random lunacy' is their pledge.
Link here to their official website, which includes videos, plus another video from Poppa about some of their adventures afloat.
A movement or a non-movement? Performance as art? Free spaces as art?
Founded from ideas in the Manifesto developed by George Maciunas who was Lithuanian American artist. He was a founding member and the central coordinator of Fluxus, an international community of artists, architects, composers, and designers. Other leading members brought together by this movement included Ay-O, Joseph Beuys, George Brecht, Dick Higgins, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, and Wolf Vostell.
Complex ideas…
Started around Boston, USA, but now international with lots of local groups. An activist group.
A peace organisation based around their principles: “Food Not Bombs is an all-volunteer global movement that shares free vegan meals as a protest to war and poverty. Each chapter collects surplus food that would otherwise go to waste from grocery stores, bakeries and markets, as well as donations from local farmers, then prepares community meals which are served for free to anyone who is hungry. The central beliefs of the group are:
Always vegan or vegetarian and free to everyone.
Each chapter is independent and autonomous and makes decisions using theconsensus
Food Not Bombs is dedicated to nonviolence.”

Fort van Sjakoo bookshop in Amsterdam, Netherlands is an international libertarian and radical bookseller, who are described as the ‘Robin Hood of booksellers’, supporting the poor and downtrodden against the rich.
Renowned and greatly missed Zippie psychonaut. Originator of many trippy, hippy events and publications. Including the Encyclopedia Psychedelica, Megatripolis and the youniversity.
Old sites, but they include links to some interesting material. Plus a tiny video clip of Fraser with Terence McKenna.
