  • Mick sitting on a chimney pot. Claremont Road, Leytonstone, London. Claremont Road, ran immediately next to the Central line, and was completely occupied by protesters. The road became a vibrant squatter community full of site specific art installations. 92-year-old Dolly Watson was an original resident refused the D.O.T's offer to move. She became friends with the road protesters, who named the watchtower, built from scaffold poles, after her.<br />
<br />
The British Road Protesters movement began in the early 1990s when the Donga tribe squatted Twyford Down to save this beautiful site, a site of scientific interest SSI from the Ministry of transport's road building programme which threatened to destroy the landscape. The Dongas was the name of the ancient walkways, the paths trodden in the middle ages by people walking down to Winchester. A small tribe were joined by people of all walks of life who came to Twyford Down to defend it. A long hard battle over several years ended in the 'cutting' a new motorway built through this ancient monument and destroying it. <br />
<br />
The Road Protest movement in Britain continued for many years and more battles were fought in London against the MII both at Wanstead then in Leytonstone, and subsequently at Newbury, and in Sussex. the protesters were very inventive in their use of non violent peaceful direct action. They barricaded themselves into squats, made tree houses, tunnels and have huge demonstrations against the bailliffs, police and security who tried to force their way through the defences of this alternative environmental popular movement. Many of the roads were built eventually and many sites of great beauty lost, but the government had to stand down from its road building policy and eventually the programme was halted. the protests cost the government billions. Out of that movement grew many environmental NGOs who have to this day kept fighting for ecological and sustainable environmental solutions rather than following the cult of t

  • Roma Gypsies at Vicolo Savini Gypsy camp, in Italy living with racism, prejudice and displacement from their homes. Most have been forcibly removed to Castel Romano. Many came to Italy from the Balkans in search of a new life after the violent disintegration of ex-yugoslavia. Since then they have been forced from their urban camps to live in Container camps outside cities.

  • ROYAL CAMBODIAN RAILWAYS. The journey from Phnom Penh to Battambang is the last working route. A passenger train, operates only at weekends. A Czech made diesel locomotive, leaves the capital Saturday morning, arriving in Battambang 22 hours later in the dead of night, and returns on Sunday. Max speed is about 30kmh, often slower due to the track's terrible condition. Carriages are dilapidated, with holes in the floor and only spaces for windows. Passengers sit or sleep on hardwood bench seats, hammocks, or on the floor of cargo carriages. The drivers, controllers & guards add to their small monthly pay by charging for local passengers and cargo; from motor bikes and local produce to timber loaded aboard at the 30 stations along the route. This together with other trains and farm vehicles further slows the journey. In rural areas, the track is a lifeline, and used for local transport on 'bamboo trains' powered by belt-motors, or pushcarts. Boom towns, with a 'goldrush mentality' near the rapidly depleted rainforest, are a hive of activity, with logging as their resource, where children workers even gamble away their earnings on cardgames. In the city, the railway has a life of its own, where people live and work nearby or on the track itself. Market stalls, restaurants, chairs and tables, are removed only briefly, when the infrequent train passes!///A man with a mobile telephone in his hand

  • Group of active members of Barefoot Collage shot around 5pm at afternoon tea.. Barefoot College Tilonia, started by Bunker Roy in the 1970s. An organisation based upon creating economic self-empowerment and sustainable development initiatives, and self-sufficiency, for communities in the rural desert of Rajasthan, India. Energy autonomy with solar power capacitors, parabolic mirrors for cooking, solar powered water heating, and battery lanterns. Freshwater and irrigation through wells and desalination. A multitude of other economic initiatives run by grassroots Indian people, mainly women, where those who participate in, run the projects themselves. Many of them local lower castes, some physically handicapped, most with no paper qualifications, with support from others who gave up high flying money-making careers to be involved in working with poor rural communities. Mico-industries include solar lanterns, electric circuitry and lighting, crafts, textiles, children's toys, and sanitary towels. Also much emphasis on local and oral communications, radio, and puppetry. Now recognised internationally providing an educational resource most often directed towards communities of rural women worldwide.
