Artivistic
http://artivistic.pbwiki.com/We are infiltrating all levels of society. Artists, activists, academics, architects, bureaucrats, the homeless, anarchists, first nations, immigrants, doctors, geeks, queers, lawyers, teachers, witches, philosophers, clowns. Artivistic does not only provide a platform for political artists and artistic activists, but partakes in the very movements that work for change. In the pursuit of temporary moments of pleasure, we move towards freedom, for resistance is perpetual and oppression, ever-changing. We oppose the progression of monolithic thought and work for the development of new and dynamic forms of knowledge, exchange, representation and practices of everyday life. We aim to stimulate the mind, the imagination, and the body. We seek alternative models, portals unto un.occupied spaces. Artistivic moves beyond the moment, becoming a process of contamination through interpersonal dialogue that exceeds the event. Building on the 2005 generation, Artivistic in 2007 will continue to ask questions that do not leave us thinking we have resolved the issues. We strongly suggest that you answer one, or all, of our questions with a question of your own.

Snap! Moving to our own beats
http://snap.mahost.org/Snap! Moving to Our Own Beats is a project of Colours of Resistance Montreal. Colours of Resistance Montreal is a QPIRG Concordia working group, composed of people of colour, Indigenous people and allies that share a common understanding of the systems of power and oppression that we live in, particularly as they relate to racialized communities. Snap! is an incarnation of a similar program for youth of colour and Indigenous youth, that took place in 2003 in Montreal, called Freedom School.
