Starting today we’re setting up a project @ Punch HQ called “Counter / Culture” studying those who’ve begun changing the nation from our city’s streets; radicals, chartists, abolitionists, suffragettes, artists, rockers, bhangramuffins, rastas and punks.

If this inspires you, get in touch. Consider this a manifesto

The inspiration for this is the Urban Curators from Providence, Rhodes Island. The aim of their project is to:

engage the public in the celebration of the decaying urban environment, recognizing its inherent aesthetic qualities as well as the important role that it plays within our cultural habitat

Which they do by:

literally hanging gold, gallery-style frames in derelict spaces within the city, framing objects and views that are of aesthetic or cultural value

Their full mission statement is on the very fantastic Wooster Collective blog. As Ammo said, if this inspires you, get in touch.
