The original Prague Pink Silver Bloc was organized by a group of women from the UK. Their idea : to dress up in outrageous costumes-half Bacchanalian ball-grown, half Rio carnival dancer-and confront the police, unmasked, and armed only with femenism and feather dusters. 3, record 1, English, - pink%20silver%20bloc

Il y avait notamment un pink silver bloc (bloc rose et argent) : cette tactique est née lors du sommet du FMI et de la Banque Mondiale à Prague [en 2000]. [...] Elle a été réutilisée dans un grand nombre de manifestations et actions directes depuis, et se base sur une résistance festive, rythmée et colorée. Elle vise à promouvoir le queer (dépassement des genres sociaux masculins et féminins et de l'oppression patriarcale) et le travestissement. 1, record 1, French, - pink%20silver%20bloc
