AG at Lyon Labor Exchange

A general assembly (AG) took place at the Lyon Labor Exchange, drawing about 300 attendees. The meeting, which had been underway for half an hour, was held on the upper floor of the building.

Security agents speak at the assembly

During the assembly, two individuals climbed onto the stage, but only one took the microphone. These two young security agents had participated in a surprise strike on October 17 that resulted in the closure of two sites of the Lyon Biennale, a major contemporary art exhibition in France.

Lyon Biennale's goal

The Biennale's stated goal for this year is to "pass from one dream to another." Arts students, students and teachers of art schools are mobilizing across France, from Dunkerque to Marseille, to denounce increasingly deteriorating working conditions.
