In Benyounes forest, “la foret” as they called their habitants, was the last stage of a long trip for thousands of people coming from Sub-Saharan Africa. Close to the fence that divides Ceuta (Spain) from Morocco, they establish in a variable time, before flank the last obstacle in they way to Europe, looking for a better life. Sometimes running away from wars, politics persecutions, hunger or a precarious economy situation. Lots of times of all of this. In years, the migrants pass across this forest and after some weeks or months they manage to arrive to Ceuta. In finals of 2004, European union start agreements of subcontract Morocco in the control of the Spanish – Moroccan border. The habitants of the forest, started to feel the effects of this agreements: the increase of illegal devolutions, the abuses from the civil police, they install police controls near the forest, they forbid the access to current water, military attacks to the camps in with they made mass arrests and rapes as a war weapon.

In Jean Luc Godard film "Vivre sa vie", I heard a small dialog that talked about the nature of the hens and their soul. From this text borned the idea to animate the body of a quail ready to be cooked, and, following Godard, find in him the soul of the ballerina posthumously.

Today we experience a deepening crisis in every sphere, which urges us to rethink our acceptance of the most basic social institutions. The division of labor and domestication, the cornerstones of civilization itself, need to be problematized. The absence of fundamental critique would mean that we accept an unfolding, multifaceted disaster as merely inevitable. Might we find a new paradigm/ framework/vision that breaks out of the confines of failed earlier approaches to health and liberation? Keeping in mind that there should never be a single “correct” path, there is much promise in what is called anti-civilization theory, primitivism, and green anarchy in various parts of the world. Mass society and its technological imperative are now increasingly seen as the problem, not the solution. John Zerzan is an anarchist author and activist, and an editor of Green Anarchy magazine. His writings include Elements of Refusal (1988, 1999), Future Primitive (1994), Running on Emptiness (2002), and Twilight of the Machines (2008). He has also edited Against Civilization (1995, 2002) and (with Alice Carnes) Questioning Technology (1991).
At the height of French colonial expansion in West Africa, Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba (re)created a theoretical and practical model of submission to the Real that provided an effective alternative to the power structure, which limited and was limited by the colonial invader. The model or path founded by the Sheikh (the Muridiyya) is based on an Islamic premise according to which knowing is an act of love for each and every thing in creation and for the relationships between them: this is why not the heart, not the brain, is the organ of knowledge. Now, the echoes of Bamba’s loving experience migrate through his followers, the Mourides, who came from African lands and now live among us, perfuming the space, opening us up, and activating memory within us, inviting us to travel along the path of presences towards the One and Only. To migrate is thus to return to oneself. Dhikr ceremony [Remembrance] To conclude, the Baye Fall community invites us to attend and participate in a Dhikr ceremony. The remembrance of Allah (Dhikr or Zikr) is the main task of Sufi schools. “Recordar”, the Spanish word for remembering, comes from the Latin recordari and in some places it means to awaken, to stop sleeping and journey back through the heart (cor), to summon something to mind and invoke somebody's presence.
The civic behaviour bylaws recently passed by Barcelona City Council and applied to other Catalan municipalities bear a striking resemblance to Fraga's 1965 “Keep Spain Clean” campaign. Sex workers, skaters, artists, social activists... spoke out against the new legislation. The video covers the numerous demonstrations that were organised against the civic bylaws.
