“Today marked an inspiring and truly historic day in the life of urban gulls. Gulls across Ireland have staged an uprising in Dublin, marking the beginning of a fight back for the survival of our species.”
Headline, Left Wing Journal, Augustine O’Donoghue
The Left-Wing Journal is an agit-prop newspaper created by the gulls as part of their campaign to educate and challenge the negative views many humans have of gulls. The gulls seek to share alternative views to the mainstream human media, one that creates common cause with humans in a struggle against capitalism to save the planet for both humans and animals alike. The paper also carried articles from their human allies including BirdWatch Ireland and the paleoceanographer Jess Spears.
Created in August 2022, it accompanied the urban gull installation and audio soundtrack.
