Artist joins the protest against Dow Chemical sponsorship of the London Olympics with a billboard artwork in Bhopal.
From the ‘City Journal’, Kerala:
Sayed Irshad Ali, from Udaipur district in Rajasthan, is in Bhopal these days to showcase his contemporary art work, including hoardings and posters, in various public places.
He compares two major industrial disasters - the 1984 Bhopal tragedy and 2010’s oil leak from British Petroleum’s underwater drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico off the US coast.
“I am raising two main points through my artwork. Firstly, I am comparing these two manmade tragedies. In the first case, human beings died, and in the other, fish. The families of 500,000 Bhopal gas victims, even after 27 years, are still waiting for justice, whereas the US made BP pay a compensation of $20bn for dead fish and environmental damage in the Gulf of Mexico,” Ali said

A great photoshop mock-up of how the London Olympic Stadium might look if LOCOG go ahead with the crazy idea of allowing Dow Chemical to supply the nasty plastic ‘wrap’.

Bhopal Medical Appeal recycled art project at Glastonbury 2011
The Bhopal Medical Appeal made a statement about cleaning up at Glastonbury this year.
Michael Eavis has recently become a patron of the BMA and, thanks to this fantastic news, we were able to substantially raise our game at Glastonbury this year.
We had 80 litter pickers this year and we arranged for them to bring certain of the litter back to our marquee, just beside the Leftfield stage, for recycling into sculptures.
The scupltures included various over-sized figures representing Bhopali people collecting water plus one giant sized skull- all built to light up at night.
As an aside, we were also cleaning the hands of passers by with a special organic, chemical and alcohol-free hand sanitizer of our own making.
We were cleaning up Glastonbury. Nobody is cleaning up Bhopal.

Art dedicated to Bhopal Survivors by Moose Curtis
Revers graffiti piece created by Moose Curtis and dedicated to the survivors of the Bhopal Disaster
In Moose’s own words:
“I was being filmed by CNN when I made the piece, ( its just rainwater fired against wooden stencils on some really toxic looking sea wall lichen) it represented the horrid ring of poison created by the original pollution and the take over of Union Carbide by the drug company (Dow Chemical) who are the poison on the other half of the eternity ring. I talked about what little I know about the disaster, while they filmed, but they edited the whole thing out just having me say at the end of the film that ’ I really liked it and it looked good”.

SWOON visited India and, as part of her trip, made a special journey to Bhopal in the hope of understanding a little more about what had happened there, why it has never been put right and why there are still so many people suffering.
Purely by coincidence she found herself at the Sambhavna clinic, our clinic, and was inspired enough, by the activities of the clinic, to use photos of it as the main part of her contribution to the ‘Skullduggerous’ show.
We’re totally stoked that SWOON should have found herself at the clinic and decide to use it in her work!!
