https://static.latribune.fr/full_width/1181974/riviere-en-dordogne.jpg

Quatorze antibiotiques ont été retrouvés dans les rivières de 72 pays, d’après une étude britannique inédite révélée lundi 27 mai. Les concentrations d’antibiotiques trouvés dépassent jusqu’à 300 fois les niveaux « acceptables ». Un risque majeur puisque ce phénomène accentue le phénomène de résistance aux antibiotiques qui deviennent moins efficaces pour traiter certains symptômes.

Aucune n’est épargnée. Une étude présentée lundi 27 mai révèle que, de l’Europe à l’Asie en passant par l’Afrique, les concentrations d’antibiotiques relevées dans certaines rivières du monde dépassent largement les niveaux acceptables. La nouveauté de cette étude résulte du fait qu’il s’agit désormais d’un « problème mondial » car si, autrefois, les niveaux tolérés étaient le plus souvent dépassés en Asie et en Afrique - les sites les plus problématiques se trouvent au Bangladesh, Kenya, Ghana, Pakistan et Nigeria - l’Europe et l’Amérique ne sont plus en reste, note le communiqué de l’équipe de chercheurs de l’université britannique de York responsable de l’étude.

Les scientifiques ont ainsi analysé des prélèvements effectués sur 711 sites dans 72 pays sur six continents et ont détecté au moins un des 14 antibiotiques recherchés dans 65% des échantillons. Les chercheurs, qui présentaient leurs recherches lundi à un congrès à Helsinki, ont comparé ces prélèvements aux niveaux acceptables établis par le groupement d’industries pharmaceutiques AMR Industry Alliance, qui varient selon la substance.

Résultat, le métronidazole, utilisé contre les infections de la peau et de la bouche, est l’antibiotique qui dépasse le plus ce niveau acceptable, avec des concentrations allant jusqu’à 300 fois ce seuil sur un site au Bangladesh. Le niveau est également dépassé dans la Tamise. La ciprofloxacine est de son côté la substance qui dépasse le plus souvent le seuil de sûreté acceptable (sur 51 sites), tandis que le triméthoprime, utilisé dans le traitement des infections urinaires, est le plus fréquemment retrouvé.

Notes sur l’“arrogance israélienne” et conséquences

26 septembre 2018 – Pour mieux appréhender les derniers développements entre la Russie et Israëlaprès la destruction de l’Il-20 dans les conditions qu’on sait, ce texte(ci-dessous) de E.J. Magnier nous paraît intéressant. Il y a d’abord la compétence, l’expérience et les sources du commentateur, que nous connaissons bien ; mais il y a aussi et surtout son point de vue, qui nous permet de mieux éclairer la situation en Syrie.

Magnier, en effet, perçoit la position de Poutine et l’intervention russe en Syrie d’une manière qui est assez peu habituelle aux commentateurs occidentaux, et notamment aux antiSystème pro-Poutine, et notamment à ceux que nous avons nommés affectueusement “hyper-antiSystème”. Pour lui, Poutine est beaucoup moins un allié de la Syrie (...)

Water bottler sets sights on growing Cambodian market

A $2 million company hopes to cash in on the growing local bottled market by using modern technology and local natural resources.

A NEW player in Cambodia’s purified drinking water market has seen early signs of success with a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant and production facility in #Kampot province, and expects to distribute nationwide in 2009, the company said.

#TADA_Bokor Natural Spring Drinking Water began operations in early November with a US$2 million capital investment from the T-DA Import Export Co Ltd, which distributes the brand in Kampot province, Sihanoukville and Phnom Penh.

Company owner and first deputy president of Cambodia’s National Committee for Disaster Management, Nhim Vanda, said TADA Bokor was licensed by the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy in 2006 following a study conducted with foreign partners to determine the suitability of mineral water from Kampot province’s Bokor mountain.

A bottling factory was built at the base of the mountain in Makprang district, Nhim Vanda said.

“Our factory was built to rigid technical standards and equipped with the latest technology imported from abroad to meet all hygiene requirements,” he said.

“We have been evaluated by our national laboratory at the Ministry of Industry and the Pasteur Institute of Cambodia at the Ministry of Water Management, as well as by consultants from South Korea.”

Nhim Vanda said the company also manufactures its own plastic bottles and has taken steps not to adversely affect the province’s natural environment, which has become the focus of nascent efforts to create an ecotourism industry in the Kingdom.

OUR FACTORY WAS BUILT TO RIGID TECHNICAL STANDARDS ... [WITH] THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY.

TADA Bokor employs 35 workers and produces an estimated 1,200 to 1,500 cases of water each day.

“We purify the natural spring drinking water through reverse osmosis and ozone processes, as well as ultraviolet purification technology, to make it better than other brands,” he said.

“I will enlarge our distribution to other provinces nationwide next year,” he said.

Chheng Uddra, bureau chief of the Product Licensing Department at the Ministry of Industry, said TADA Bokor has complied with all ministry regulations and requirements.

“I have sent my experts last month to check the quality of the water, the bottling and the factory to ensure it was built to proper standards,” he said.

There are more than 130 pure drinking water companies operating in Cambodia, but only 20-including TADA Bokor-operate within health parameters set by the government, Chheng Uddra said.

He added that because the ministry has not always implemented existing laws, it imposes three-month evaluations on companies to test the quality of the water.

If standards are not being met, then companies risk losing their license, Chheng Uddra said.

Tomgram : Nick Turse, A Grim Inheritance | TomDispatch
►http://www.tomdispatch.com/post/176456/tomgram%3A_nick_turse%2C_a_grim_inheritance

Le site TomDispatch est bloqué par le département de La Défense pour « racisme et incitation à la haine » alors que les sites d’extrême-droite Breitbar et Infowars sont libres d’accès....

It looks like #TomDispatch may have a few less readers from now on. Perhaps it will surprise you, but judging by the mail I get, some members of the U.S. military do read TomDispatch — partially to check out the range of military and ex-military critics of America’s wars that this site publishes. Or rather they did read TomDispatch. No longer, it seems, if their computers are operating via Department of Defense (DoD) networks. The DoD, I’ve heard, has blocked the site. You now get this message, I’m told, when you try to go to it: “You have attempted to access a blocked website. Access to this website has been blocked for operational reasons by the DOD Enterprise-Level Protection System.” Oh, and the category that accounts for it being blocked? “Hate and racism.” Mind you, you can evidently still read both Breitbart and Infowars in a beautifully unblocked state via the same networks.

The following list of the New Seven Wonders is presented without ranking, and aims to represent global heritage.
In 2007, more than 100 million people voted to declare the New Seven Wonders of the World. The following list of seven winners is presented without ranking, and aims to represent global heritage.

#Great_Wall_of_China (#China)
▻https://travel.home.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/travel/fullset/2015/10/12/new-seven-wonders-great-wall-of-china.jpg.rend.hgtvcom.616.462.suffix/1491581549051.jpeg
Built between the 5th century B.C. and the 16th century, the Great Wall of China is a stone-and-earth fortification created to protect the borders of the Chinese Empire from invading Mongols. The Great Wall is actually a succession of multiple walls spanning approximately 4,000 miles, making it the world’s longest manmade structure.

#Christ_the_Redeemer Statue (#Rio_de_Janeiro)
▻https://travel.home.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/travel/fullset/2015/10/12/new-seven-wonders-christ-the-redeemer.jpg.rend.hgtvcom.616.462.suffix/1491581548898.jpeg
The Art Deco-style Christ the Redeemer statue has been looming over the Brazilians from upon Corcovado mountain in an awe-inspiring state of eternal blessing since 1931. The 130-foot reinforced concrete-and-soapstone statue was designed by Heitor da Silva Costa and cost approximately $250,000 to build - much of the money was raised through donations. The statue has become an easily recognized icon for Rio and Brazil.

#Machu_Picchu (#Peru)
▻https://travel.home.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/travel/fullset/2015/10/12/new-seven-wonders-machu-picchu.jpg.rend.hgtvcom.616.462.suffix/1491581548990.jpeg
Machu Picchu, an Incan city of sparkling granite precariously perched between 2 towering Andean peaks, is thought by scholars to have been a sacred archaeological center for the nearby Incan capital of Cusco. Built at the peak of the Incan Empire in the mid-1400s, this mountain citadel was later abandoned by the Incas. The site remained unknown except to locals until 1911, when it was rediscovered by archaeologist Hiram Bingham. The site can only be reached by foot, train or helicopter; most visitors visit by train from nearby Cusco.

#Chichen_Itza (#Yucatan_Peninsula, #Mexico)
▻https://travel.home.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/travel/fullset/2015/10/12/new-seven-wonders-chichen-itza.jpg.rend.hgtvcom.616.462.suffix/1491581548887.jpeg
The genius and adaptability of Mayan culture can be seen in the splendid ruins of Chichen Itza. This powerful city, a trading center for cloth, slaves, honey and salt, flourished from approximately 800 to 1200, and acted as the political and economic hub of the Mayan civilization. The most familiar ruin at the site is El Caracol, a sophisticated astronomical observatory.

The Roman #Colosseum (#Rome)
▻https://travel.home.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/travel/fullset/2015/10/12/new-seven-wonders-roman-coloesseum.jpg.rend.hgtvcom.616.462.suffix/1491581548881.jpeg
Rome’s, if not Italy’s, most enduring icon is undoubtedly its Colosseum. Built between A.D. 70 and 80 A.D., it was in use for some 500 years. The elliptical structure sat nearly 50,000 spectators, who gathered to watch the gladiatorial events as well as other public spectacles, including battle reenactments, animal hunts and executions. Earthquakes and stone-robbers have left the Colosseum in a state of ruin, but portions of the structure remain open to tourists, and its design still influences the construction of modern-day amphitheaters, some 2,000 years later.

#Taj_Mahal (Agra, #India)
▻https://travel.home.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/travel/fullset/2015/10/12/new-seven-wonders-taj-mahal.jpg.rend.hgtvcom.616.462.suffix/1491581548979.jpeg
A mausoleum commissioned for the wife of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, the Taj Mahal was built between 1632 and 1648. Considered the most perfect specimen of Muslim art in India, the white marble structure actually represents a number of architectural styles, including Persian, Islamic, Turkish and Indian. The Taj Mahal also encompasses formal gardens of raised pathways, sunken flower beds and a linear reflecting pool.

#Petra (#Jordan)
▻https://travel.home.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/travel/fullset/2015/10/12/new-seven-wonders-petra.jpg.rend.hgtvcom.616.462.suffix/1491581549062.jpeg
Declared a World Heritage Site in 1985, Petra was the capital of the Nabataean empire of King Aretas IV, and likely existed in its prime from 9 B.C. to A.D. 40. The members of this civilization proved to be early experts in manipulating water technology, constructing intricate tunnels and water chambers, which helped create an pseudo-oasis. A number of incredible structures carved into stone, a 4,000-seat amphitheater and the El-Deir monastery have also helped the site earn its fame.

En 2007, plus de 100 million de personnes ont voté pour élire les Sept Nouvelles Merveilles du Monde.
La #Grande_Muraille_de_Chine (#Chine) :
Construite antre le Vème siècle avant J.C. et le XVIème siècle, la Grande Muraille de Chine a été conçue pour protéger les frontières de l’Empire chinois des invasions mongoles. Aujourd’hui, la Grande Muraille est une succession de multiples murs qui s’étend sur environ 6 500 kilomètres : il s’agit de la plus longue construction humaine au monde.
La statue du #Christ_Rédempteur (Rio de Janeiro) :
La statue du Christ Rédempteur se dresse sur le mont du Corcovado depuis 1931. Cette statue de 40 mètres de haut a été conçue par Heitor da Silva Costa et a coûté environ 250 000 dollars (une grande partie du financement provient de dons).
Le Machu Picchu (#Pérou) :
La cité inca du Machu Pichu est supposée avoir été le centre de la capitale Inca Cusco. Construite au milieu du Vème siècle, la citadelle a été par la suite abandonnée par les Incas. Le site, qui n’a été découvert qu’en 1911 par l’archéologue Hiram Bingham, n’est accessible qu’à pied, en train ou en hélicoptère depuis Cusco.
Chichen Itza (#Péninsule_du_Yucatan, Mexico) :
La puissante cité de Chichen Itza, probablement construite entre le IX ème et le XIIIème siècles, était le centre économique et politique de la civilisation maya. Les ruines les plus visitées sont celles de l’observatoire astronomique El Caracol.
Le #Colisée (Rome) :
Construit au Ier siècle avant J.C., le Colisée a pu accueillir, pendant environ 500 ans, presque 50 000 spectateurs pour les spectacles de gladiateurs et autres événements publics. À cause de tremblements de terre et de vols, le Colisée est aujourd’hui en ruines.
Le Taj Mahal (Agra, #Inde) :
Mausolée construit pour la femme de l’Empereur Mongol Shah Jahan, la Taj Mahal a été construit entre 1632 et 1648. Cette structure de marbre blanc comprend un certain nombre d’influences et de styles architecturaux, parmi lesquels les styles persan, islamique, turque et indien.
Pétra (#Jordanie) :
Déclaré site mondial de l’UNESCO en 1985, Pétra était la capitale de l’Empire nabatéen au Ier siècle avant J.C. Cette civilisation était apparemment très avancée dans la maîtrise de l’irrigation, ce qui a permis de créer un pseudo-oasis.

Mon commentaire sur cet article :
La volonté mondiale de choisir « Sept Nouvelles Merveilles du Monde » montre bien que l’art peut permettre de redéfinir les « codes » établis. On remarque en effet que les « Sept Merveilles du Monde », dont la liste datait de l’Antiquité, se trouvaient toutes aux alentours de la Méditerranée (la pyramide de Khéops à Gizeh en Égypte, les Jardins suspendus de Babylone, la statue de Zeus à Olympie, le temple d’Artémis à Éphèse, le mausolée d’Halicarnasse, le colosse de Rhodes et le phare d’Alexandrie). Plus encore, presque aucune de ces œuvres mystiques n’existe encore aujourd’hui : ces merveilles n’étaient que le symbole de la puissance culturelle et du développement avancé des « civilisations européennes ». Les « Sept Nouvelles Merveilles du Monde » permettent de sortir de cet européanocentrisme en reconnaissant la magnificence de civilisations « autres ».

Ecocide and modern slavery in the land of the Maya: the impact of oil palm cultivation in Guatemala - Equal Times
▻https://www.equaltimes.org/ecocide-and-modern-slavery-in-the?lang=en

It looks clean and exuberantly beautiful, but the lake is contaminated. And the lives of 700 people depend on this lake, all residents of the Manos Unidas (United Hands) Cooperative, a community that is part of the municipality of Sayaxché, in the Petén department, northern Guatemala.

Manos Unidas has become the last frontier of resistance to the advance of palm oil production in the region, as the only community that has hung on to its land; and that, say its residents, is because the lands are common property.

From Assos to Lesbos: In the Aegean Sea

I came across #Önder_Tokuç, an artist based in Assos, whose “The Aegean Sea” collection has taken me back to the epic poem “Boat to Lesbos” written by Nouri Al-Jarrah. The Syrian poet who lives in exile since 1986 describes the Aegean Sea like a huge bloodstain. This was exactly what pushed Önder Tokuç to produce his powerful art works, consisting of ceramic statues and oil on canvas paintings.

Kazakhstan Spent $5 Billion on a Death Star and It Doesn’t Even Shoot Lasers | Foreign Policy
▻http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/06/15/kazakhstan-spent-5-billion-on-a-death-star-and-it-doesnt-even-shoot-l

https://foreignpolicymag.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/astana.jpg

The Expo was being held on the outskirts of Astana, near one of the city’s many construction sites, in a purpose-built park. Dubbed a “future city” but looking more like a vast conference center, the organizers claimed the site was self-powered, fueled by a mix of wind and water. Each pavilion takes up anywhere from one room to several floors in a giant ring of new buildings built to encircle a great sphere of black glass at the center, the Kazakhstan pavilion. Viewed from the west, the dome loomed over neighboring apartment buildings. “There’s two big ways to piss off the Kazakhs,” a delegate commented, “Mention Borat, or call the dome the Death Star.”
[…]
For years, the Kazakh organizers had been quietly ramping down the tallies of expected attendees at the three-month event; 5 million, 3 million, now 2 million. On opening day, the official figure was 10,000 visitors, and even that was a generous rounding-up. The next day, the crowds were even barer. In the Chinese pavilion, a CGI video showed a fly-through of busy Expo grounds; outside the street was empty save for a janitor having a smoke. Come dinner time, the empty plastic tables and giant windows of the second floor of the food court gave it the air of a provincial airport at 2 am.
[…]
But maybe the biggest problem with attracting visitors was that the majority of the Expo was boring. The exhibition’s theme — “Future Energy” — meant an endless sequence of corporate videos about the sun (good) and wind (also good). The bigger the petro-state, the more time the pavilion spent talking about how committed they were to alternative energy. “Please come to the Shell pavilion,” one of the Kazakh staff implored me, “It is a very brilliant company.” Many of the videos ended with young women in diaphanous clothing turning to smile at the viewer; the Israelis one-upped this by having a live dancer — in diaphanous clothing — as a treat after you’d sat through their video.

Theory of Non-Sites, by Robert Smithson (1968) – SOCKS
▻http://socks-studio.com/2014/06/14/theory-of-non-sites-by-robert-smithson-1968

http://socks-studio.com/img/blog/smithson-non-sites-00-400x300.jpg

In 1967 Robert Smithson began exploring the industrial areas around New Jersey and, after assisting to dumper trucks excavating tons of earth and rocks, he described them as the equivalent of the monuments of antiquity. The series of “Non-Sites” resulted from the installation in the gallery of gravel, rocks, salt materials collected from specific mines, excavations or quarries, usually contained in boxes of galvanized steel or situated within mirrors formations.

Whereas a “Site” is scattered information, a place you can visit, experience, travel-to, a “Non Site” is a container, an abstract work about contained information. Crucial to the notion of “Non-Sites” was the condition of displacement and the conservation of meaning after the removal to another site.

#9500_Liberty

9500 Liberty documents the first time in U.S. history that an Arizona-style immigration law was actually implemented—and the surprising grassroots opposition that led to its repeal.

Racial tension and threats of violence erupt when Prince William County, #Virginia adopts a law requiring the police to question people who appear to be undocumented immigrants. Supporters of the law ride a wave of hysteria to an election victory. But many reconsider when the local economy feels the impact of a sudden exodus of workers, consumers, and business owners. Despite fears of reprisal, a group of concerned citizens launches a “virtual resistance” using social media, setting up a final showdown with the law’s -ferocious advocates.

The #Mediterranean_Missing_Project

The Mediterranean Missing project is a 1 year ESRC-funded research project and a collaboration between the Centre for Applied Human Rights at the University of York, The International Organisation for Migration, and City University, London. The project seeks to collect data and explore current responses to migrant bodies in the Mediterranean, and the impacts of a missing relative on families left behind. In 2015, over 3,770 refugees and migrants are known to have died at sea while trying to reach Europe. The majority of these people are not identified, and in such cases a family is left in a state of ambiguous loss, unable to fully grieve for their loved one. This project aims to shed light on the policy vacuum at EU and national levels o this issue, through investigating law, policy and practice in Italy and Greece regarding the investigation, identification, burial and repatriation of migrant bodies. Research with families from Syria, Iraq and Tunisia aims to better understand the impacts of missing persons on their families.

Deep Web (2015)
►http://www.deepwebthemovie.com

Administrateur du site emblématique Silk Road, interpellé en 2013, Ross Ulbricht a été condamné à la prison à vie (et pour deux vies sans possibilité de libération anticipée) ; la thèse du film est que sa condamnation, basée sur de nombreuses allégations non prouvées, et des machinations et incitations d’agents du FBI, est un montage politique.

https://dl.dropbox.com/s/4yh2u829orkomsi/deepweb2015.jpg?dl=0

Deep Web gives the inside story of one of the the most important and riveting digital crime sagas of the century — the arrest of Ross William Ulbricht, the convicted 30-year-old entrepreneur accused to be ’Dread Pirate Roberts,’ creator and operator of online black market Silk Road. The film explores how the brightest minds and thought leaders behind the Deep Web are now caught in the crosshairs of the battle for control of a future inextricably linked to technology, with our digital rights hanging in the balance.

In addition to being the only film with exclusive access to the Ulbricht family, Deep Web features the core architects of the Deep Web; anarchistic cryptographers who developed the Deep Web’s tools for the military in the early 1990s; the dissident journalists and whistleblowers who immediately sought refuge in this seemingly secure environment; and the figures behind the rise of Silk Road, which combined the security of the Deep Web with the anonymity of cryptocurrency.

Williams conceived MartyrLoserKing’s title character, a cyber hacker living in the East African country of Burundi who builds a Frankenstein’s Monster-like super-computer from the parts of abandoned desktops, teaches himself how to code and develops an online cult following. He’s in love with a transgender woman named Neptune Frost and hosts a cryptic and anarchist podcast, through which his eventual hacks into Google and the Pentagon turn him into Public Enemy No. 1, a kind of militant Edward Snowden.

La présentation de Saul Williams dans sa newsletter :

“Poets are midwives of reality.” ~ John Keats

Not long ago, I began writing and recording MartyrLoserKing- the screen-name of a hacker, living in Burundi, who rises in virtual fame and escapes authorites who assume that someone in a more popular location must simply be throwing their signal.

I was inspired by current events and reailties playing out in real time, from the Arab Spring to the Occupy movement, the actions of players like Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden, the suicide of Aaron Swartz, and the proliferation of new technology: cameras, phones, tracking devices, drones and the growing sense of the unexpected, the flashmob, the protester in the face of an increasingly militarized world, and decidedly rooted the story in a world I was growing more and more familiar with through my personal life, living in Paris, and it’s proximity to Africa.

I chose Burundi for the setting because of the role that Bujumbura played in the imagination of previous generations of the Great Lakes regions, as a destination for music, good times, a way of life, as a place to dream of and look forward to, like others might dream of Paris. Simultaneously, I learned of the role of Burundian drums in the sound of New Wave, of far off England. When I finally wrote the first song for the album, I never imagined that its release would coincide with actual unrest and protests in the area. Nor did I imagine the wave of protests that would arise in America in response to the unwarranted killings of youth, blacks, poor and the disenfranchised.

As it stands, I am on the cusp of releasing an album that feels completely aligned with a fight against religious extremes, dictatorships, poverty/wealth discrepancy, biased gender and marriage views set into law, and the continued oblivious nature of the wealthy and privileged whose comfort comes at the heavily exploited expense of natural resources and unseen/uheard people.

The middle finger is for the corporate, religious, and government pushback against the democratic progression of humanity; for the naysayers that force a new generation to face the same discrimination as their parents and grand-parents, for the continual and heartless push of the 1% and their minions. Needless to say, I’m fed up.

Palestinian artist booted from Banksy’s Dismaland for anti-Israel protest
▻http://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2015/8/25/palestinian-artist-booted-from-banksys-dismaland-for-anti-israel-protest

“I found out when arrived at the show that three Israeli artists were taking part, one of whom served in the IDF. I got upset that I hadn’t been informed and tried to complain to the organisers. I was told someone would meet with me but after over an hour of waiting no one came to meet with me,” Zaqzouq told al-Araby al-Jadeed.

“I decided I had to protest in some way so I went and got a bed sheet from my hotel room and wrote ‘R.I.P Gaza: Boycott Israel’ on it in coal and hung it over my artwork and laid down like a corpse in front of my two paintings on display,” the 34-year-old said.

After half an hour security guards approached Zaqzouq to inquire about what was going on, who then called Holly Cushing - believed to be Banksy’s manager.

After explaining to Cushing the reason for his protest, she told him it was too “ugly” for the dark show and that an American art collector was going to buy his art - and that America and Israel were one and the same, according to Zaqzouq.

Cushing then claimed that Banksy wanted the Palestinian artist’s work to be taken down from display.

Zaqzouq said that two of the show’s organisers were polite and understanding.

“I didn’t pull out of the show. I just wanted to send the message that I was protesting - but they didn’t like it and said they would take it down,” the artist said.

“I respect all that Banksy did, especially in Gaza. He was my hero for a long time and gave some hope to us. I just tried to send him a message - in a very Banksy kind of way - that I objected, and then I was told it would be taken down. I am surprised,” he added.

Two of Zaqzouq’s works are on display in the “bemusement” park, After Washing #3 depicts a young woman wearing a bandana over her face holding up a pair of men’s underwear inscribed with the Arabic word “irhal” (leave) – a popular chant by street protesters during the Arab Spring, demanding the ousting of dictators.

The other piece, Rock Me All Night Long shows googly-eyed children throwing brightly coloured rocks and shoes with a stencil in the background of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, wearing the famous make-up of the fictional supervillain, the Joker.

Zaqzouq was born to Palestinian parents in the Libyan city of Benghazi. He lived in Libya, Gaza and Egypt before settling in France in 2007. It is clear from his art that that revolution and discontent are the primer for each of his canvases.

Last Friday, Banksy opened his large scale group show lampooning Disneyland in the southern UK seaside resort of Weston-super-Mare. Since Dismaland opened it has been plagued with reports of thousands of people struggling to buy tickets and long queues.

UPDATE: Al-Araby al-Jadeed has learnt that the organisers of Dismaland have not removed Shadi Alzaqzouq’s artwork as they said would happen and have instead kept his protest art up with a note saying, “The artist has decided to cover his work to protest being exhibited alongside artists from Israel. We are hoping to resolve the situation as soon as possible and apologise for any disappointment."

Un artiste expulsé du Dismaland de Banksy après un geste anti-Israël
▻http://fr.timesofisrael.com/un-artiste-expulse-du-dismaland-de-banksy-apres-un-geste-anti-isra

(...)Les organisateurs, après avoir expulsé l’artiste, ont cependant décidé de laisser le drap en place avec une note expliquant que « l’artiste a décidé de couvrir son travail pour protester contre le fait d’être exposé aux côtés d’artistes venant d’Israël. Nous espérons résoudre la situation dès que possible et nous présentons des excuses pour toute déception », a indiqué le site Al-Araby Al-Jadeed mardi. (...)

L’exposition réunit des œuvres de Banksy et de 58 artistes, tels que les britanniques Damien Hirst et David Shrigley, les espagnols Escif et Paco Pomet ou encore l’américaine Jenny Holzer. Banksy les a lui-même tous choisis, dont trois artistes d’Israël et des Territoires palestiniens, un Egyptien, deux artistes syriens et un Iranien.

« J’ai découvert quand je suis arrivé à l’exposition que trois artistes israéliens y avaient pris part, dont l’un a servi dans l’armée israélienne », a expliqué Alzaqzouq au le site, basé à Londres. « Cela m’a fâché de ne pas avoir été informé et j’ai essayé de me plaindre auprès des organisateurs ».

Lorsque personne n’est venu écouter sa plainte, Alzaqzouq a décidé de prendre les choses en main.

« J’ai décidé que je devais protester par n’importe quelle manière, je suis allé et j’ai pris un drap de lit de ma chambre d’hôtel et j’ai écrit : ‘RIP Gaza : Boycott Israël’ avec du charbon et je l’ai accroché sur mon œuvre et je me suis allongé comme un cadavre devant mes deux tableaux exposés », a déclaré Alzaqzouq, qui est né en Libye de parents palestiniens et qui vit maintenant en France.

Une demi-heure plus tard, les agents de sécurité sont arrivés sur place et lui ont demandé ce qui se passait avant de contacter Holly Cushing, souvent décrite comme la manager ou la gardienne de Banksy qui reste insaisissable.

Alzaqzouq dit qu’après avoir écouté son explication, Cushing lui a dit que le travail de protestation était trop « laid » pour le site, puis a affirmé qu’un collectionneur d’art américain allait acheter son art.

Selon l’article, après avoir passé un appel téléphonique à Banksy, Cushing a ordonné à Alzaqzouq de partir et lui a dit que ses peintures allaient être retirées.

Et pourtant, les œuvres et le drap placé en protestation sur elles sont restées en place.

Dismaland et Cushing ne pouvaient pas être immédiatement joints pour commenter cette affaire. Selon le site Web du sombre et déprimant « parc de la perplexité », les seules choses qui sont interdites sont « les bombes de peinture, les marqueurs, les couteaux et les représentants juridiques de la Walt Disney Corporation ».

Parque #EcoAlberto : Home of the Illegal Border-Crossing Tourism Experience

Next month, Mexican eco-tourism site Parque EcoAlberto celebrates the tenth anniversary of one of its star attractions. It’s not the ziplining, kayaking, or water slides that are being celebrated. It’s an experience called Caminata Nocturna, or night walk, during which participants wearing ski masks pay an admission fee to be chased, shot at, and verbally abused.

#Grande-Bretagne : pour éviter le retour en menottes, tapez « maison »

La douane britannique a décidé d’innover dans sa lutte contre l’immigration illégale. Les autorités ont en effet lancé une campagne publicitaire visant à raccompagner les sans-papiers, à moindre coût et sans heurts.
