Eens, disruptie van de extrovert-supremacist cultuur is
'introfada'. Zeker van toepassing bij de luidruchtige en botte
Hollanders, daar wist Erasmus nog van... Weg met loudness, sirenes
en schreeuwreclames!<br>

<i>The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear</i> – Lao
Tzu<br>
<br>
Drawing together communiqués, covert interviews, oral and
underground history of introvert struggles (Introfada), here for the
first time is a detailed documentation of the political demands of
shy people.<br>
<br>
Radicalised against the imperial domination of globalised PR
projectionism, extrovert poise and loudness, the Shy Radicals and
their guerrilla wing the Shy Underground are a vanguard movement
intent on trans-rupting consensus extrovert-supremacist politics and
assertiveness culture of the twenty first century. The movement aims
to establish an independent homeland – Aspergistan, a utopian state
for introverted people, run according to Shyria Law and underpinned
by Pan-Shyist ideology, protecting the rights of the oppressed quiet
and shy people.<br>
<br>
Shy Radicals are the Black Panther Party of the introvert class, and
this anti-systemic manifesto is a quiet and thoughtful polemic, a
satire that uses anti-colonial theory to build a critique of
dominant culture and the rising tide of Islamophobia. Shy Radicals
author Hamja Ahsan is an artist, curator and activist based in
London. He is the Free Talha Ahsan campaign organiser.<br>

/Common Objectives/ is a series of projects from artist/writer
collectives or individual art practices engaged with emerging
political struggles, rejecting the idea of culture as a playground
for the elite, engaging in the potent mix of free discourse,
solidarity and the production of new desires and prepared to break
open old worlds, either in the virtual space of communication and
networks, or in the concrete world of action, discourse and
distribution. Common Objectives is commissioned by Book Works from
open submission and edited by Nina Power.<br>
