Tactical media is a concept and set of practices 
that emerged around the Next Five Minutes 
festivals in Amsterdam from 1993 to 2003. What is 
common to these practices is the artistic use of 
media technologies to subvert power. As part of 
the Cleotronica 2008 festival Alexandria 
Contemporary Arts Forum (ACAF) will set up a 
transient club for 'Tactical Media' inside its 
space. The club seeks to collectively explore 
'Tactical Media' practices in the different 
contexts of Europe and Egypt, and conduct 
brainstorming sessions that investigate the 
possibility of new intersections between art, 
media, activism, and theory. Artists, activists, 
and collectives are invited to be members of the 
club and participate in its discussion and debate 
group meetings that will be moderated by Joanne 
Richardson (Romania) and Francesca Bria (Italy). 
To become a member and participate in the club's 
sessions please send us a brief paragraph about 
yourself and your interests or your collective in 
English or Arabic to 
<mailto:acafspace at gmail.com>acafspace at gmail.com 
and 
<mailto:office at acafspace.org>office at acafspace.org 
, please include your complete contact info and 
write "club" in the subject box. The meetings 
will be carried out on the 20, 21, and 22 of 
March. In addition to the club meetings Joanne 
Richardson will be delivering a public lecture on 
the past, present and future of Tactical Media at 
ACAF on Friday 21 March, while Francesca Bria 
will talk about social media, shared culture and 
the hacker movement in Italy on Sunday 23 March, 
both lectures will feature live Arabic 
translation and start at 7 pm.
