Zine check – Blk/Mark

I met Alberto Scattolin in Gexto last week at the Bowl-A-Rama contest and he handed me his zine Blk/Mark to check out.
This issue features the photography of Fabien Ponsero, Jay Delaney, Alberto Scattolin, Sergej Vutuc, Fred Ferand, Julian Furones and Kristijan Smok. It´s all black and white with a good mix of transition, DIY and street footage. It´s all done in nice quality and definitely worth checking out.
For more info or to get a copy check the Blk/Mark website or their FB

Save the MELLOWPARK

Liebe Freunde des Mellowparks,

mit Verständnis und Vertrauen in unsere gewählten Volksvertreter ist jetzt Schluss. Es ist beängstigend, wie mit den Interessen der Kinder und Jugendlichen in unserem Bezirk umgegangen wird. Trotz der eindeutigen politischen Entscheidung den Mellowpark auf dem Gelände um das ehemalige Paul-Zobel-Stadion anzusiedeln, befürworten die verantwortlichen Bezirkspolitiker nicht akzeptable Lösungen. Dabei scheint es so, als ob persönliche Interessen die Durchsetzung des BVV-Beschlusses verhindern.

Um zu zeigen, dass wir uns das nicht gefallen lassen und auf unserem Recht bestehen, müssen wir zur nächsten Bezirksverordnetenversammlung im Rathaus Treptow, am 25.09.2008 unseren Standpunkt deutlich machen. Dazu brauchen wir jeden Mitstreiter! Es ist von elementarer Bedeutung, dass sich am 25.09.2008 mindestens 1.000 Menschen an der Demonstration beteiligen. Es reicht also nicht selbst vorbeizukommen – Nein, jeder von uns muss 10 Leute mobilisieren.

Gleichgültigkeit oder faule Ausreden sind inakzeptabel! Gebt euch einen Ruck, rafft euch auf und setzt ein Zeichen! Gebt den Kindern und Jugendlichen eure Stimme – Der Kampf hat begonnen!
