The Organisation and Politics of Social Forums
Sensing the Forum: A
Collage
Sian Sullivan and Steffen Böhm
Social Forums, as with any encounter, are not simply about words
exchanged and issues discussed. They also provide a context for
sensual and embodied experiences through which all participants
- all subjectivities - emerge somehow changed. In this collage we
attempt to offer a hint of Forum sensuality through a range of images
and recordings: an opening into some sights and sounds of Social
Forums.
This online collage is an integration of images taken at various
European and World Social Forums from 2002 to 2005. The sound bites
were recorded at the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil,
in January 2005.
Each Flash file is between 1MB and 2MB in size. So, we recommend
a fairly fast Internet connection. This online collage can be experienced
best by setting the speaker volume to medium. All photos
were taken by Sian Sullivan and Steffen Böhm - except seven
photos which Guto Maahs kindly allowed us to include in this
collage. Many thanks also to Rafi
Ahmad for the web-realisation of this project.
