BE CREATIVE
Macarenses wants you to go out and do something creative – make your own 'zine, build an art installation in your garden, start painting, write a poem, play an impromptu gig. It doesn’t matter what you do, just be sure to do it your own way.
Everyone has got something to say. On the margins of mainstream culture, away from the national galleries and the blandness of modern cities – there are lots of people being creative.
So if you have got something to say get out there are do it! Creativity is about expressing yourself, giving yourself a voice.
Most of all, let your mind be creative by forgetting all that you have been told and learnt. Imagine not how things are, but how you want them to be - a new world IS possible if you want it enough.
AND
Look at the history of graphic agitation and be inspired.
Get directly involved in some of the current protest groups and campaigns shown below.
Read a bibliography of all the books that interest and influence me and consult them yourselves.
