Victory at the Zad
A protracted but determined struggle to defeat an airport construction project produced an extraordinary victory. In the face of brutal police repression, Isabelle Fremeaux, Jay Jordan, and others created an autonomous zone and prevented the construction of a massive international airport on 4,000 acres of fields, forest, and wetlands in western France. Fremeaux and Jordan recount the now iconic struggle at the \u201czad\u201d and describe how they understand the relationship between art, resistance, and commoning.\nIsabelle Fremeaux and Jay Jordan, We Are \u201cNature\u201d Defending Itself: Entangling Art, Activism and Autonomous Zones Pluto Press/Journal of Aesthetics & Protest, 2021\nThe Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination\nThe ReImagining Value Action Lab\nThe Journal of Aesthetics & Protest\n(Image on main page by Bstroot56.)\nThe post Victory at the Zad appeared first on KPFA.
