Welcome to a rupture
of the everyday.
Before you is a street party: a community festival on the [paved
over] town square. By dancing and playing--turning the pavement into a playground--we
are reclaiming the street from the automobile which ruins the street by making
it a place to be moved through - not lived in. We believe the city and the street
should be for people to live, meet others and celebrate creativity and freedom.
The city should serve the human community, not mechanized consumerism. Cars
are only the most visible and tangible representative of an inhuman consumer
society which is smashing community, constricting human spontaneity and freedom
and destroying the Earth's life support system.
