During a visit to the recent People’s Summit on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth, with friends Globalise Resistance, SOR spotted some rather lovely street art on the walls of the host town Cochabamba. The summit coincided with the 10th anniversary celebrations of what the Bolivians call ‘The Water War’, the immense, successful mass struggle against water privatisation that came between the WTO protests in Seattle in 1999 and the G8 protests in Genoa 2001 and showed how it is possible to resist Corporate Globalisation through militant mass movements, it was a beacon of hope to all of us around the World struggling against the same Neo-Liberal policies and Cochabamba was it’s heart. Here are some pics of the art that celebrates that victory for the people.
