++ JANUARY WHIRLS ++ AN INVITATION TO JOIN IN ++
[please post and forward]
a month of counter-cultural not-shopping sprees on
both sides of the Atlantic!
Since 2001, the Whirl-Mart Ritual Resistance
phenomenon has spread from
upstate New York across the United States and now
across the Atlantic.
Consumption awareness rituals are being performed on
every Sunday of
January by independent teams of Whirlers in the UK,
Germany, and the
US.
During a Whirl-Mart event, a group of people gather
and perform a
not-shopping intervention in a cathedral of
consumption, such as
Wal-Mart, Toys R Us, or Asda. The group creates a
whirling train of
empty carts as they meander through the aisles of the
store.
The dates locations for January Whirls are...
January 5 - Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania USA
January 12 - Nottingham UK | Brighton UK | Germany
January 19 - Glasgow UK
January 26 - New York City, USA
Would you like to join us in the first Scottish
Whirling event ever?
We
are whirling together next Sunday 19th here in Glasgow
at a large
supermarket on the South Side. If you want to be part
of this seminal
act of resistance, or just want more information, do
not hesitate to
get
in contact with us at info@readreader.org. Tell your
friends, tell
your
family - the more people attend the more fun it will
be - what better
activity is there for a Sunday afternoon? Certainly
more fun than
Antiques Roadshow.
