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.
