Submission: Clare GallagherIn this era of the dramatic image or newsworthy novelty reigns, it seems like a small act of revolution to turn away instead towards the small, in-between moments that are rarely noticed, much less documented. This series is concerned with everyday life – the ordinary activities, states of mind and conditions of existence that fill time outside the moments of drama and spectacle.

Clare Gallagher is from Northern Ireland.

Can social media avoid following in the footsteps of divisive mass media?

We must gather with those we trust at every conceivable opportunity, and become OUR OWN MEDIA CENTER. We alone are responsible for the dismantling and reconstruction of corporate-fed ”news” by using reliable sources and then sharingthe information with each other. The power of the people in groups at the street level communicating with one another can not be valued highly enough.
