'''political poster exhibition'''<br>

Art plays a crucial role in social struggle - illustrating and inspiring the power of social movements.<br>
 
−
This exhibition of political posters is co-presented by [http://jura.org.au/ Jura Books] and [http://www.usydunion.com/ the University of Sydney Union] as part of the [http://www.vergeartsfestival.com/ Verge Arts Festival] over the APEC period - to bring art to the protest, and the protest to the art gallery. For 30 years Jura has been a base and an expression of many campaigns and movements, and has been collecting political posters. The exhibition is a careful selection of posters from the Jura archive and represents a range of struggles and campaigns. There are many stunning screen prints from the Earthworks collective.<br>

As the same time as APEC politicians discuss prolonging the war, profiting from environmental devastation and silencing dissent, come and feast your eyes on the alternative: art which demands action and envisages a better world.<br>

Ride location and how to get there

Assemble at the Archibald Fountain, Hyde Park, Sydney. Please do not drive to the event because it will create greenhouse gases and contradicts the purpose of the event. Please ride your bike to the assembly place or take the train if it is too far for you to ride. CityRail allows passengers to take their bikes on the train. Sydney city is well serviced by trains and several stations are a short distance to Hyde Park

Critical Mass

All riders interested in participating in the Sydney WNBR should consider participating in Sydney Critical Mass. Marte will be attending some Sydney Critical Mass rides in the lead up to the Sydney WNBR to promote participation, encourage people to help organise and holding organising meetings after the CM ride. We meet at the Archibald Fountain at the Northern end of Hyde Park, on the last Friday of every month at 5:30pm for a 6:00pm departure. You can find a map and pictures of the location on the Sydney Critical Mass wiki page.

Some people confuse WNBR with the Sydney Body Art Ride but they are two different and separate bike events.

Sydney 2008

Location: the Archibald Fountain, Hyde Park

About 25 riders rode, some completely naked down King St Newtown to the delight of the public. Student riders from Sydney University harassed by security.

Media coverage

Future

In August 2007, Marte volunteered to help organise WNBR in Sydney. Marte seeks help from as many people as possible to make WNBR Sydney 2008 a big success. Marte welcomes the contribution of ideas and practical help. People interested in participating or helping Marte organise a WNBR in Sydney should at least try to come to Sydney Critical Mass rides (see above) and the WNBR meetings that follow, join the discussion group, try to make contact with others with similar views and demonstrate some initiative. Regardless of the level of help that is offered to help organise WNBR Sydney, Marte will pressing ahead and making the ride happen! Please refer to the Organizing a ride page for more information about how to help organise a WNBR.
