On Monday, at approximately 18:00 Damascus time, Amina was walking near Fares Al-Khouri Street. She had gone to meet an activist involved in the Local Coordinating Committee. Amina had apparently identified the person she was to meet when three armed men seized her.
According to an eyewitness, Amina was bustled into a red Dacia Logan with a bumper sticker of Basel Assad. The men are assumed to be members of the Ba’ath Party militia or one of the security services. Her father is desperately trying to find out where she is and who has taken her.
Amina’s present location is still unknown.
Sour Lips is an Ovalhouse Counter-Culture Commission.
Inspired by Ovalhouse's history of radical and activist performance, these seed commissions investigate what counter-culture could mean today. Is it possible to be an outsider in a society priding itself on inclusivity? Who gets to be counter-cultural? And who gets to decide?
This mini-season of works-in-progress marks the beginning of an exploration that will grow into a Counter-Culture season sometime in 2013.

Would you hold hands with me? Not because you love me, or because you must take care of me, or because I'm in distress. Would you hold hands with me just because I asked you to?

We're all in it together. We're all middle class now. Class politics is dead. Class war is over. Class Act is a cutting and irreverent take on these and other lies.
