Boundary to Brigdes tour 2003/2004
from Almeria (Spain) to Saint Louis (Senegal)


Programm

In the south of of spain, the region of andalusia, will be the gathering of people from europe and all the rest of the world. The tribes will gather in fall 2003 to commonly form the first euro-african – caravane.

Andalusia was the historic center and symbol of peaceful and productive interaction of all cultures under the umbrella of mutual respect and tolerance before the spanish-catholic reqonquista in the 15. century. Muslims, christians and jews used to live here to their mutual benefit. The Street of Gibraltar was a bridge in that time, not a boundary as it is today.

The people gathering in south of spain are missing this bridge in face of the regime of the fortress europe. The people of the crawan want to express their opposition towards the schengen policy of the european union. They want to positivly start rebuilding the brigde over the Street of Gibraltar.

Every Region the caravane passes will be the place of festivals, put together commonly by the caravane people and the local people involved. Though every festival will take place in the spirit of the caravane, also all festivals will be different in typ of main focus issues and their very form, depending on the regional and local preparation and understanding of the caravan.

Notes on Autonomy

1.We are entering a new age - please don't bring your "stuff" from the old !!!

2.Numbers sharing the journey are unknown, so please bring everything YOU need with YOU. This includes reliable, well prepared vehicles and spares. Fuel and water storage systems, tools, food and very warm bedding - desert nights are COLD

3.Keep your litter your problem... The environment is fucked enough. Bury your shit ... Burn your arse-wipes otherwise dogs dig it up again !!

4.DRUGS and ALCOHOL - if you choose to be off your face you may well miss the point, surely it has reached the time to evolve past these induced states? Be clear and clean enough to induce your own natural blisses.

5.The level system of governance implies the lateral passage of information resulting in decision. NO VERTICAL HIERARCHY. Respect your Elders however.

6.Non-destructive animals welcome.

7.ON THE BUTTON........BE FREE AND ENJOY!!!
