Definition

  • From the birth of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) in 1987 through the rise of the global justice movement in 1994, the largest day of anti-war protest in world history on February 15, 2003, the Republican National Convention protests in August 2004, and the immigrants' rights rallies of spring 2006, the streets of cities around the world have been filled with a new theatrical model of protest. Elements of fun, creativity, carnival, pleasure, and play are cornerstones of this new approach toward protest and community building.
