busy this morning, the bastion of St. Gallen, in the heart of Pisa city walls. This space left by years of dirt and degradation, has been upgraded several times in recent years from reality, self-organized, which occupied the re-opening it to the city. In this
At the Bastion host the "ZAP Festival" - Meeting Urban Resistance: 4 days of music, debates, exhibitions, book presentations and entertainment.
Among the promoters of the festival is actually the CASP (Collective Autonomous Students Pisani), the protagonist struggles within the world of training last winter, the CASP has been engaged in a journey time of termination of the state of neglect and degradation in which so many places, squares and buildings of Pisa.
In support of friends and companions of CASP, space antagonist Newroz, the Project Prendocasa and the Collective Autonomous University.
Here is the statement of CASP:
Now us young people of the collective self of the Pisan school students have decided to enter the Bastion of San Gallo to redevelop and open to the city, giving birth this week to "zap festival, cultural events, debates and concerts by musical panorama of Pisa, Tuscany, national and international fill the Bastion for four days.
make public these moments of social means for us to denounce the state of abandonment in which many places, squares, buildings and give a different response to the growing need for active participation by the precarious condition of social emancipation, cultural facing increasingly the youth population.
for us to fight so-called "degradation" is the fight against the planning and construction of a city dictated solely by economic interests.
The hundreds of syringes, excrement and waste from which we have cleaned up the Bastion, shows the widespread and growing social problems and the strong recovery of heavy drug use within our own youth band.
With these initiatives we want to counter the general attack that the world is undergoing training. The government with the reform Gelmini relentlessly tries to reduce the school curriculum in a course of training in flexibility, cutting courses, laboratory hours, increasing the number of pupils per class, the curriculum is becoming more a connotation of governing a mass of young temporary workers, for example in our city is increasing dramatically while the phenomenon of school youth unemployment.
In all our efforts are going in the direction not only to fight against the destruction was already advanced in the public schools, but also to build an alternative model of cultural formation subservient to the logic of consumption and profit.
E 'active participation and direct the construction of a training "other", and the need to combat the growing drug trafficking and drug use heavy, as well as the inability to access the prevailing social and consumer of commodified "movida", which lead us to revive the Bastion St. Gallen to the city.
This site has been closed for years the only public function in its natural past times when the realities of self towns have cleaned up initiatives of solidarity, as happens every year for the party "now-enough!" dedicated to Shah-Shah.
Only a few months ago the council made it clear to present the project of restoration of the area should begin in 2011 with the arrival of funding PIUSS.
But the everyday life of Bastion continues to be the sadness of annihilation of dozens of children, and their intended use of the "toxic park." For this we pointed out that the quality of life for youth and the coveted "urban decoration" will not be until the spaces are closed, the commodified social, education and culture subservient to profit.
