London Rising Tide

London Rising Tide (LRT) takes creative action on the root causes of climate chaos, and promotes socially just, ecological alternatives to the fossil fuel madness that we're living through. It's part of the wider Rising Tide UK and international networks, and seeks to be part of a growing European and worldwide movement of groups working to dismantle the oil industry and live the future we want to see right now.

On Friday 28th November London Rising Tide visited the F.A.Headquarters to protest about E-on's sponsorship of the FA Cup. A full team of Rising Tiders turned out to play football in T shirts bearing the names of the government's proposed new coal fired powerstations.

On 20th October Greenwash Guerrillas visited the EDF headquarters to warn employees of the dangers of engaging with nuclear greenwash. EDF were obviously aware of the danger of their product as we were met with a wall of security.

On Wednesday 15th October Art Not Oil made it's first visit to the National Theatre to highlight Shell's sponsorship of the autumn production of Oedipus.

Shell is sponsoring the National Theatre's new production of 'Oedipus', and, unsurprisingly, Art Not Oil is preparing a response on various fronts. We're asking people if they're up for making an artwork of some kind as a response This could be an image, song, film or poem to appear on our website, or to be printed on a postcard or something similar. We're open to ideas. (Unfortunately, we aren't able to pay for your work, but we have no wish to possess it!) If this is of interest, we'd love to see it as soon as possible, as 'Oedipus' runs until January 2009 only.

Yo,
Here is a video of LRT actions.
Enjoy.
