link to the 3^rd issue of MASHTA – yay, what a pleasure! "naked in public" it says

world naked bike ride - a massive movement to  "protest oil dependency and celebrate the power and individuality of our bodies" . Once the editor of the magazine, where I worked, said that there are just 3 prinicps what are expressed in every good newspapers article - SEX, MONEY and DEATH. Somehow this connection comes in my mind.

the same naked bike-riders, this time in Seattle. a member of movement has said that movement is "independence from consumerist, toxic, oil-dependent and car culture paradigms that are killing us."

project SCIENCE FASHION website has collected diverse forms of street protest. few of the naked protests - naked people against fur-industry in Barcelona, halfly naked people lying in front of Kölner Dom to protest against fur industry, fireman in Spain protesting against work-clothing, dressed up just in pampers.

link to site about Fred Ho book WICKED THEORY, NAKED PRACTICE. A book about socially engaged artists, collection of his  writings, speeches and interwievs.

As Robin D. G. Kelley says in the Foreword, “Ho writes, speaks, and plays in order to persuade and inspire, to expose the crimes of the ruling class, and to challenge the status quo so that we imagine a different future.”

Through Wicked Theory, Naked Practice, Ho’s contributions merge political and cultural theory, shedding new light on the radical movements of the 1960s and 1970s and revealing the fascinating story behind a prolific and politically engaged artist across all genres.
