Hi, all, im a new member of this great initiative. For a few days i was thinking what to create and put it out in the world. Im from Russia , but have lived in Holland for 13 years now. Though Holland is a free , democratic country, more and more peops just loose them selves in their jobs, they dont even like, overwork themselves an finelly get a burn out for several months. Then some of them start to think, what am i doing? Am i happy with the way im living my life? and so on, some think they go crazy, other feel that they finally have the inner voice speaking again.
I belive that routine, kills creativity and authentety of men, while we can do whatever we love to to and be better people, not just consumers that folow whatever they been told to follow.

I though of a way, to break that routine, by putting simple questions or slogans in public spaces.Here r some examples.

* If money didn´t matter, what job would you have now?
* What´s youe good deed of the day?
* Do you need a master opinion?
* Whats your favourite time to get out of bed?

Please let me know what you think of my ideas :)

Greetings

Masha

Great :) it's nice to wonder

Great :) it's nice to wonder about this.
Did you already put them on the streets? And yes, how?
It would also be nice to put them in buildings or other places where people lost in work come, do you think?

Thnx for the reactions, my bf found my stuff rather cliche, hehe. I didnt put it out yet, but was thinking of places like the central station etc.

I think fun is very importent idd, but i see some creative axctivism getting aggressive activism, and i dont think thats the way to go. I have a new digital foto camera, when im done with the slogans, i can put it on the site :)

illustrate

Im thinking to ask an artist to illustrate my slogans, cause, i think it adds something to the creative activism. Have you ever seen this dude on the discovery chanel. He paints at night and puts his work in the streets, so people can take it home with them. Its worthless and priceless, above it all i think its genius :)

rather late reaction

Heyhey,
the guy you're talking about, I forgot his name, but I wrote to him for the first issue of Masta. Never got a reply. Hope he does respond to your request, but I have a feeling it's a bit of a lost soul wondering around until he accedentily bumps into something intresting.

but how did it work out?

The same is truth millions of workers in America. I congratulate you for your bravery to take a standing about the working oppressed class.

Masha, you mentioned you are from Russia, by any chance from Almestyevsk?
By and God Bless!!!
