Woomera Not Quite Hidden In
Australia's Shadow

Woomera is a remote town, 500 kms from Adelaide (Australia). It is also the
centre of an economy of death, suffering and incarceration founded on the
dispossession of indigenous lands. Humanity is obliterated in Woomera, in
the immigrant concentration camp, by missiles, by nuclear weapons, by toxic
waste, by colonisation, by capitalism, by fear and division.

Thousands of people are making the journey to Woomera to press for a return
to humanity and the liberation of those who have been dehumanised. They are
making the journey to refuse the death, pain and confinements that are
manufactured in the name of The Economy. Refuse the caging behind razor
wire and the new world borders fashioned so that capital, by reserving for
itself the 'right' to move around the world, can better enforce austerity,
misery, the earth's destruction and the 'race-to-the-bottom'.

In 2002 people are making the journey to reveal the connections between
dispossession and the enclosures; the dislocations that have occurred and
are still occurring in the name of profits and empire. We will not mimic
what we go to abolish, but instead wish to open a multitude of paths toward
a different world.

You are invited to make the journey. Woomera 2002 (www.woomera2002.com/)
will be a kaleidoscope of cascading autonomous actions, media streams and
screenings, workshops, discussions and happenings. People are encouraged to
use a diversity of tactics to disrupt the present and create the future.
