Don’t Look Back In Anger
Finally, after months of disruption things have finally quietened down here on ‘The Corner’. The simmering tensions created by displaced drug related activities, accentuated by the occasional machete attack, seem to have calmed down and the kind of peace that used to pass for normal has returned.
The Value of Work vs The Dignity of Labour
Productivity and growth are buzzwords on the lips of society’s so called leaders at all times. Many from all sides, take a sneering swipe across the bows of the working class vessels when they talk about getting people into working again.
An Invitation to ‘The Living Tomb’: In Life and Death We Are Intertwined
BasementArtsProject have always straddled a line between the private and personal when it comes to presenting the idea of life as an artwork. Where does the public persona end and the private life begin?
“Build It They Will Come”
On Saturday morning I had an inspirational visit to the Rowland Road Working Mens Club. I was only actually there to book a room for a meeting, but the owner who recognises me as the chap from BasementArtsProject said to me:
A Message To The Surplus Population
It is time to suspend our belief and start looking to the things that we have always considered as fantasy. There are indeed difficult decisions to be made and they are being made on our behalf by and for the benefit of those who have less distance to fall if it all goes wrong.
We must not allow ourselves to be assigned the future of a surplus population.

It’s All About The Economy Stupid!
“One has to be able to imagine a future in order to start planning for it.”
Know Yr Enemy! (and it’s not who you might think)
The ability of people to gather and acknowledge common interests is key to creating a community. This happens in a limited way with things such as sporting events but such events could be seen as a model for how things could work at a more local level when removed from the constraints of commerce.
