Review: Ciudades en insurrección. Oaxaca 2006/Atenas 2008, by Katerina Nasioka, 2017

Abstract

Oaxaca 2006, Athens 2008. Flashes of lightning. Ruptures. Eyes open, minds open. We see new things, we think different ideas. Walls come down, possibilities open up—possibilities we had forgotten, possibilities we did not dare to dream of before. Space is transformed, time is transformed. Moments of rage-hope, when rage discovers hope, when hope turns into rage. And afterwards? There is no afterwards; the afterwards is abolished forever.
