Rebecca Brayton: Socially Acceptable Terrorist Action or the ATSA is a group celebrating their 10th anniversary with change. Hi! I’m Rebecca Brayton welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll be seeing the result of art taking action. The ATSA has been described as an art and social activist group. Why did you choose to get your point across through art?
Female: Well. actually we’re artist at first, like I was a dancer and Jerry was art director in cinema and a visual artist as well. But then after 15 years of creation, when we heard that a refugee Montreal for homeless man was needing a 106 pair of socks and that the Canadian banks we’re making billions of profits. It generated this kind aggressivity and it’s a way to take it out.
Rebecca Brayton: What would you say is the ultimate goal of the ATSA?
Female: To stimulate people to be part of it and to give kind of a desire to change.
Rebecca Brayton: How do you know when you’ve achieved that goal?
Female: When people talk to us and say thank you because, you know, it gave me the kick to compose or to recycle or to sell my car with state of emergency, which is our big refugee camp. In 2004, we were 60 volunteers, we’re almost 400 now.
Rebecca Brayton: You want just to explain the citizen ticket project?
Female: We produce 10,000 numerated tickets and 350 volunteers went in the streets and gave tickets to huge cars. So some people went to the municipal court to pay it or the police station and it went really big in the media. It is your individual choice as a consumer, is affecting my life. Art is also a tool to generate a discussion.
