How To Make Trouble And Influence People

CALLOUT for Submissions
In late 2008 a new edition of the "How To Make Trouble And Influence People" series of books will be published including all three of the original books plus new chapters, interviews, graphics and more!!
For those not familiar with the series so far each book has compiled listings and tales of left wing and anarchist political satire, pranks, hoaxes and direct action from Australia and Aotearoa alongside photos of graffiti, billboard revisions and protests and reprints of posters, flyers and stickers.
So what we want from you … from the smallest local happening to the grandest most ambitious hoax imaginable!
• PHOTOS of Graffiti, Pranks, Culture Jamming, Political Mischief Making, Interventions, Street Theatre, and Actions. Please include, date, location, photographer (if you want) and any information with photo.
• STORIES for HISTORICAL LISTINGS – on all the above.
Preferably short pieces describing an event, group, parody, etc. See below for examples.
• POSTERS, FLYERS, STICKERS, FAKE ADS, etc.

Examples of stories for listings:
Newcastle, 2007 - Over 100 people participate in a flotilla of kayaks, canoes and small boats attempting to block the movement of coal ships along the harbour’s main shipping channel.
Armidale, 1973 - Student environmentalists cut down every billboard on the highway between Armidale and Glen Innes in a protest against consumerism and visual pollution.
We cannot guarantee that all works submitted will be published and also unfortunately we cannot pay contributers.
Looking forward to hearing all your tales of creative political trouble making!
