“On Translation: Miedo/Jauf is not a work on African/European emigration/immigration. Nor is it a work on religion or on terrorism. Two different realities separated not by the sea but by border fences and boundaries on both sides. The search for the north, with its man-made paradises that for many remain lost; fear as an emotion/sensation inserted in the decision of crossing. The construction of the south as a fiction/reality linked to phenomena of the unknown, exoticism and difference”.

Okupa is the Spanish word for squat. This is a short video of two very large demonstrations that took place in Barcelona against evictions and property spectulation.
Back in the old days, a 'maquila' was a “millers portion”, the amount of grain that farmers paid millers to process their grain. Now maquilas are tax-free factories set up in underdeveloped countries to produce their goods using cheap labour. In Nicaragua, 100,000 people work in maquilas, which pay $0.32/hour and violate all workers rights. The Nicaragua maquilas are virtually unknown to international public opinion, and essential to the supply of the US consumer market.
UntitledFour families who live in Bon Pastor, a Barcelona neighbourhood, refuse to leave their single-storey houses. Some refuse because they've lived there for their whole lives, others because they feel they've been duped by the Board of Housing. This video shows the action carried out by the support group “Asemblea de Apoyo a Bon Pastor” in solidarity with the four families who resisted, at a time when it is seen as “politically incorrect” to ask for what you believe is right.
