Dear info list,
Give the Chinese students their history back! In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen massacre we ask you to help us spreading the information about what happened in Beijing on June 4th 1989. We have scanned all fliers, newspapers, photos, etc. related to the massacre. Download it, place it at a library or give it as a present to Chinese people who work or study in your neighbourhood. For more info about the campaign, see:

We've just sent out a press release about the appeal to support the memory of the crackdown, see:

This year Jens Galschiot has been invited to Hong Kong by the Democracy movement in Hong Kong to join the commemoration in relation to the 20th anniversary of the crackdown. China's government is intensifying its effort to censor the massacre. Last year Hong Kong's immigration authorities refused to let Galschiot enter Hong Kong and it is feared that the same will happen again this year. Demands have been made to give Galschiot permission to enter, from the press and several members of Hong Kong's parliament. Furthermore the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has negotiated with the Secretary for Security in Hong Kong. Therefore Galschiot has decided to go to Hong Kong once again. The artist will bring along two bronze sculptures which are to be handed over to Hong Kong's students as well as the Government in Hong Kong on the occasion of the 20th anniversary. See details on the case at

Global warming. We are preparing a huge art happening titled SevenMeters.net where we will use blinking red lights as a symbol of the impending climate catastrophe. We will build up a global network of climate activists and others who want to highlight the dire consequences for humanity. At the campaign office we are working furiously to launch the project. We are constructing our website, where you can already join the action if you are triggered by the idea of using red lights to focus on the climate crisis, see

If you want to be removed from our mailing list, just answer this message writing 'Remove' in the subject box.
Anyway, it may be worth a consideration that this mail is not covering all our info messages. The themes are manifold: human rights, the world's imbalance, women's and children's rights, racism, war and peace, arts debate, etc.
