Creative activism by the Mischief Makers - a short history

One making mischief... | 07-01-2007 13:32 | Art and Activism Caravan 2006 | Culture | Sheffield

Bannerdrop in Sneinton, Nottingham, March 2006

The Mischief Makers are a group of activists and artists based in Nottingham (UK) who formed early 2005 as a creative response to the G8 Summit, held at Gleneagles Hotel, Scotland in July that year. The collective uses creativity to support community, environmental and social justice campaign and activist groups. The groups aim is ''to inspire people and empower them to identify challenges and take action in their local environment''. (1) Here follows a short overview of their first 2 years in action...

The Anarchists' Ball - 3-Sided Football Endcliff Park 30 12 06 12pm

urban paranoia | 21-12-2006 13:39 | Culture | Sheffield

Three goals, hexagonal pitches...The rules have changed over the years, but FIFA would have a field day with this lot. Goal shrugs off the shackles of organised leagues and hangs out with the anarchists.

It is unlikely that Luther Blissett is even aware of the fact that he's the inspiration behind three-sided football, a form of the game that 'deconstructs the mythic bipolar structure of conventional football'. But then Watford is not a hotbed of class war and, although it is rumoured that he organised a three-sided football league during his playing days, Blissett probably isn't attending Hackney Anarchist Week in east London. Goal is, however, and it is here that we encounter the Luther Blissett 3-Sided Football League, named after the man himself. The game has been further developed by anarchist group the London Psychogeographical Association (LPA).

Played on an hexagonal pitch between three sides, each defending one goal, the aim is not to score the most goals, but concede the least. Goals are conceded when the ball 'is thrust through a team's orifice', so dissolving 'the homoerotic/homophobic bipolarity of the two-sided game'. Put simply, three-sided football is, ideally, an exercise in co-operative behaviour, with one side persuading another to join in a campaign against the third - thus breaking down the very basis of capitalist organisation - and all before teatime.

!!! Save THE Rutland !!!

Luther Blissett | 13-12-2006 07:57 | Culture | Sheffield

Just in case you didn’t know – The Rutland Arms, located on the corner of Brown Street is due to close around the 22nd of December 2006.

This is an amazing pub and beer garden and has served us all well. It deserves to be listed as a place of cultural significance, protected and celebrated. It cannot be turned into luxury apartments - it needs to remain a pub.

Christian-based direct action gathering - Leeds - 28-30 July

rasputin | 28-07-2006 08:53 | Anti-militarism | Culture | Ecology | Sheffield

CHRISTIANITY HELPED TO CREATE CAPITALISM...NOW IT MUST DESTROY IT!

Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered innocent men, who were not opposing you. (James 5:1-6)

The Friends of the General Cemetery,  http://www.gencem.org/ have just published an alternative plan for the development of the Chapel which could well reduce the chances of the plan to turn it into a private house,  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/sheffield/2006/06/343310.html from being successful.

But the battle is not yet won - join the Zombie protest on Friday:  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/sheffield/2006/07/346036.html

Summer of Discontent - Things to do in Sheffield

summerofdiscontent | 03-07-2006 23:16 | Culture | Sheffield

DISCONTENT manifesto

A CALL TO ARMS

Summer in Sheffield is a washout. There is nothing for us to do. Nothing. No festivals, boutique or otherwise. No outdoor gigs. No opportunities to get off it. Summer in Sheffield means classic car rallies, family fun days, kids eating ice cream and patting goats. Not good enough.

So we have to do something about it. This is the Summer of Discontent.
