Groundswell Weekly Review

Call it the Week of the Heroine (or Hero): we posted about Dulce Pinzón’s celebration of the immigrant worker, John Emerson commented on those national heroes supported by anarchist or socialist infrastructures – namely, your local firefighters – and Superman and Batman are to join forces with their Islamic counterparts.

The Wa replaced ads in Marseilles with resumes, commenting on public space, street art, and the economy, and in Virginia, runners took to the streets for a global warming themed Critical Run.

Brian Droitcour rekindled the conversation on Networked Equality at Rhizome, and Sebastian Haunss is amassing a gallery of Global Justice Movement posters, to which we added our work.

Tiny Eyebeam is now taking applications for residencies via Twitter.  You get $50 and 2 days to complete a micro-project.

We survived Art Hate Week.

Just how hetero are you?
