WHY WE MARCHED
Austerity isn’t working
Our country faces long-term economic problems. But our political leaders have failed to face up to them.
For the next five years or more, unless policies change the economy will not grow, incomes will not rise, and there will be almost no new jobs.
If the government keeps on with big spending cuts and austerity we face a lost decade. Even on their own terms government policies are failing. To close the deficit we need a healthy growing economy that generates tax income. But austerity has led to a vicious circle of decline.
Instead of just letting the banks go back to business and bonuses as usual, we need policies that promote new and old industries.
This new approach would create jobs, especially for young people.
It would encourage companies to raise average pay, penalise big bonuses and invest in training and new industries. It would crack down on tax evasion by big companies and the super-rich. It would tackle the growing inequality between the super-rich and everyone else.
Rather than deep, rapid spending cuts, we need to reverse our decline and build an economy that works for ordinary families.
We need a future that works. Will you join us?

ACT Professor Azra Akšamija framed her Spring 2015 section of Foundations in Art, Design, and Spatial Practices (4.302), around the idea of Wunderkammer, or cabinets of curiosities. These wonder-rooms gained popularity in Europe in the sixteenth century and typically comprised encyclopedic collections of objects, ranging in scope from natural history and geology to ethnography and archaeology. Akšamija asked students in “Wunderkammer: Propositions for Future Museums,” “to think about artifacts for the future that tell a particular narrative about our time – perhaps related to ecological problems or other contemporary concerns.”
Through artistic practice and research, undergraduate students in this course investigated future forms of museums and the design of futuristic artifacts inspired by global cultural heritage.
During the semester, students worked on two studio projects related to the wunderkammer theme. The first project was body-centered in both its scale and conceptual focus. For this exercise, students created narratives set in the distant – and sometimes dystopian — future that focused on the body as an interface with the world. They addressed topics such as gender identity, politics and ecology in projects that ranged from wearables to performance pieces to video installations.

Michaela was intrigued by the use of wind. Perhaps our overly analytical little tyke will one day be an energy conservationist, building a wind farm.
