If you are in New York head down to the Tribeca Film Festival to catch the world premier of the documentary film Teenage. Directed by Matt Wolf and written by Jon Savage. This is one not to miss.

Last year Matt interviewed me about my work.

Last week I was interviewed by the American film director Matt Wolf. Matt is working on the film Teenage with Jon Savage. Interesting questions. Just hope you find the answers as interesting. Enjoy!

Over the last month or so I have been helping to pull together this event which is part of the London Festival of Architecture 2012. The list of speakers is strong plus we have a great venue. Please repost and link like crazy!

The privatisation of our public spaces along with arbitrary restrictions and controls – backed up with state of the art monitoring systems – is not only a threat to individual liberty, it also reveals a fundamental democratic deficit for society as a whole.

Who controls the ‘public’ realm? In whose name and for what purpose is this space used? Why is the protester, photographer, skateboarder, rough sleeper and graffiti writer demonised and excluded?

Why are local authorities selling off record amounts of parks, playing fields and allotments to the private sector with little or no oversight from communities and local people?

During the Olympic Games, the biggest mobilisation of military and security forces since the Second World War is to be implemented. How will our freedom to move through and engage in these spaces be monitored and restricted during this time?

This week I started to reorganised my protest archive. So far I’ve taken a look at 2005 and 2006. This is the first new edit with plenty more to come. Editing with fresh eyes years later is a fascinating experience. Many unpublished pictures are going to see the light of day over the next few weeks.
