Byam Shaw are doing it in style over in Archway, north London. I love art schools. They have now taken over the entire building but are not disrupting classes. And they use computers from GazaSolidarity's favourite US corporation, if one can have such a thing - Apple Inc (Steve Jobs is adopted but his birth-father is Syrian).
From Aerobics to artful posters - and some good-looking food, it's all there. This occupation goes directly to matters concerning how the college is run. They have taken their inspiration from the Gaza student occupations.
Lets hope other unis/colleges in turn take their cue from Byam Shaw and start extending demands to the whole gamut of how higher education is run in the UK, which is increasingly as a business. Byam Shaw students are putting a spoke in that wheel.
Thanks all,
ReplyDeleteOccupation is going well, creativity is buzzing and a resolution is potentially in sight!
