Dear fellow citizens Dear fellow occupants Dears sisters in brave And dear comrades in arms We might overcome That unbalanced life That goes without saying Attempted to follow - yes sir - a straight line. My share of the blame I've got to say I deserve I believed in their lies I believed in their lies When all of the beauty just seems to be wrong Then all of their words seem to belong To their everyday prozac, their everyday lies That they're everyday bangin' in my day-to-day mind
And the music turns minor And we buy prepacked needs And black condoms for our pleasure For their »pleasure strategies« And we all are invited To their big bingo show And we dance to their music From all to well-known And we raise up our hands And we take this for real But we should not agree to their predicted deal.
We live in their bulletproof-single-apartments While planning family-trees. And talk about taking action While wearing their Diesel-Jeans. We don't sweat we shit perfume. We're not ugly, We're a delight. Kept in uniforms And shopping-malls We are prerendered dolls Educated for their system Cultivated, liberalized And readymade And Hollywood-movie-sized
And we all are invited To their big bingo show And we dance to their music From all to well-known And we raise up our hands And we take this for real But we should not agree to their predicted deal NO!
We shall overcome one day And beat their monitoring arms, And spray graffitis on their walls To let them know that we're no longer their obedient toys We shall overcome one day Deep in my heart, I do believe That we can defeat This mess that we've bought - so far.
They won the people's choice award Declared the speechwriter's pen, But we have never really have been asked To put a cross beside their names But we all are invited To their big bingo shows And we dance to their music From all to well-known. And we raise up our hands And we take this for real But we should not agree to their predicted deal, NO!
We shall overcome one day And beat their monitoring arms And spray graffitis on their walls To let them know that we're no longer their obedient toys We shall overcome one day! And dear fellow citizens And dear fellow occupants And dear sisters in brave And dear comrades in arms: We shall overcome! Shall overcome one day Deep in my heart, I do believe That we can defeat This mess that we've bought So far.
So far.

The women that policy forgot Authors: Celia Hannon, Shawnee Keck,
How have thirty years of legislation, innumerable work based initiatives and training schemes failed the primary group of people who experience working poverty in Britain?
Policy countering gender discrimination has not gone far enough. Macro level approaches that established government departments and research taskforces represent an impressive start, but the next phase must look to the micro-level. Policy must start to address the day-to-day reality of young disadvantaged women. This includes appreciating how cultural, practical, and social issues join up to create significant barriers that severely hinder their economic mobility.
This report, commisioned by the YWCA, looks again at the nature of low pay and job segregation, but this time, it considers the local actors and micro level locations of responsibility. It delves deeper into who disadvantaged women are and the impact their different backgrounds and experiences might have on their employment prospects. It argues that we need a new set of policies focusing on the everyday exchanges in women’s working lives. ( PDF download for full text - below) http://www.demos.co.uk/publications/mindthegapreport

"O arruinamento do espaço da Fábrica, as suas características formais e o seu estado de abandono, aludem a uma desconstrução que está em processo. Partindo da leitura desta situação construiu-se o trabalho em suspenso, aludindo também a um processo neste caso de construção, de uma acção que a dado momento se detém. O trabalho é ainda permeável a outras leituras, pela utilização e disposição dos diversos materiais no espaço: utilizam-se materiais de construção, como a água, a areia e o cimento, que são também elementos da paisagem natural (a água, a terra) e elementos de paisagens urbanas (o cimento e a luz eléctrica), para criar uma imagem onde se alude – através do desenho projectado na parede e na instalação dos materiais no espaço - a uma paisagem que nos remete para uma viagem e nos transporta a um outro lugar que não deixa de ser familiar; o monte de areia que surge isolado pela água, remete-nos a um isolamento representativo de condicionamentos e condições contemporâneas, de relações de grupos ou do indivíduo."
