Ni Perdidos, Ni Callados. (Neither lost, nor quiet)
Almost finished, our project "Ni Perdidos, Ni Callados" now we´re preparing the website to show you the portraits, the stories, the fellings, the thoughts that you shared with us.
Thanks a lot to everybody that supported us and joined us in these weeks.
Special thanks to the team from "En Tierra Extraña" (In a Foreing Land) led by Icíar Bollaín.
Here you have a few pictures of these days at the ECA (Edinburgh College of Art), soon we´ll show you the ones from the demonstration on 22th March.

The Blender Collective is now working on a creative and social project with all the Spanish people in Edinburgh to fight and demonstrate our unhappines about the current social and economical situation in Spain.
On 15, 16 and 17th March we´re going to be at ECA making portraits to all Spanish people who wants to say something about this situation and on 22th March we want
to make a demonstration at the Spanish Consulate to show it publically.
You are more than welcome to join us!
All this is going to be recorded by Icíar Bollaín who is going to make interviews the same days at the ECA for the documentary "En tierra extraña".

To wander around the city considering
it an aesthetic experience.
Walking, stopping and taking a critical
look at the urban settings around us.
Capturing with our camera that found
extract from reality in which we are
usually submerge and make this
reality ours; redefine the urban setting
such as the situationist theorist
Guy Debord suggets.
Capturing with our looks that rushed crowd,
as if it was alien to us, consuming in
supermarkets, shoe shops, coffee
shops, McDonals, museums or queuing
to take the bus, to withdraw money from
ATMs, to wait for a job centre appoiment
or to visit the Walter Scott monument.

The Blender Collective with Spanish Women´s Choice
On the 12th of January 2014, The Blender Collective, Spanish's Citizen and Ole Mi Koño, organised in Edinburgh a protest against the proposed changes to the current Spanish’s abortion law.
The demonstration has been a success. There were about 200 protesters according to Scottish Police and Organisers’ estimates.
Organisers have received support from a variety of Scottish and Spanish associations, willing to continue their contributions in favour of stopping this new Abortion Draft Law, and signed the manifesto for keeping the current legislation on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy approved in 2010.

Thank you.
