[OccupyComms] A series of talks and an art exhibition.

[Occupy Galway]

This week Occupy Galway presents a series of talks, hosted at the
contemporary arts exhibition 'Apposite Extravaganza:Cheating Progress', at
Exchange House, Fairgreen Road (next to the Radisson Hotel).  Find us by
the tent on the second floor, bring some chalk if you have a message to
share.

On Tuesday at 4.30pm, Vicky Donnelly from the Anglo Not Our Debt campaign
will give a talk on the Anglo bonds, promissory notes and lessons from the
Global South.

On Wednesday at 2pm, Mary Burke from the 'reverse the rent cap campaign'
will talk about how she got involved in the campaign as well as talking
about the effects of the rent cap on the thousands of families and
individuals who rely on rent
allowance, many of whom face eviction if the cap is not reversed.

On Thursday at 5pm we have philosopher and NUIG lecturer Miles Kennedy, who
gave a talk entitled 'What is your Occupation?' which was very warmly
received at the Occupy Galway camp in Eyre Square.  Miles has since given a
re-written version of the paper at an invited seminar at Nottingham Trent
University and he is currently working on a version for publication.  He
will be giving an adapted version entitled 'What is your occupation?:
Politics and the work of art'.

All are welcome.
