human chain

So many of the former products will ultimately be getting into the human chain and I wonder whether they should not actually incur a higher cost, but that has not happened.

So viele der erstgenannten Erzeugnisse gehen schließlich in die menschliche Nahrungskette ein, und ich frage mich, ob sie nicht eigentlich höhere Kosten verursachen, aber das war nicht der Fall.

The tremendous human chain of solidarity between the people that immediately formed from one end of Portugal to the other, is something that deserves to be recorded and commended, and I would like to mention it in this House.

Die enorme Welle der Solidarität unter den Bürgern, die unmittelbar in allen Teilen des Landes in Gang gekommen ist, war so bemerkens-und lobenswert, daß ich sie hier vor diesem Hohen Hause erwähnen möchte.

human chain – immersing into the peal of bells

Menschenkette – Eintauchen in das Geläut der Glocken

The women activists who in 1981 established anti-nuclear, non-violent protest camps near the barbed-wire perimeter fence of a military base in Greenham Common, UK probably could never have imagined that their protest would remain continuously active for 19 years. (The 96 cruise missiles there were finally de-stationed in 1991, but it wasn’t until the end of the millennium that the ground was handed back to the public.) In 1989, in the New Museum in NYC, Margaret Harrison had their collective ongoing struggle on her mind, even though it was no longer in the press as it had been when tens of thousands had formed a human chain. As a kind of homage she created the installation Commonland/Greenham (1989). This major work will be the centrepiece of her Berlin solo exhibition ‘PREOCCUPY’ at SILBERKUPPE. Decorating the high-security structure are mementos of domestic and family life. In the air in capital red letters is a quote from Virginia Woolf:

In April, I joined over 6,000 people to create a human chain at the Garzweiler coal mine in western Germany’s Rhineland.

Im April hatte ich mich einer Gruppe von über 6.000 Menschen angeschlossen, die beim Tagebau Garzweiler im westdeutschen Rheinland eine Menschenkette bildeten.

On 25th April, more than 6,000 people created a human chain against coal at the open-pit lignite mine Garzweiler in the Rhineland, Germany.

Am 25. April bildeten mehr als 6.000 Menschen eine Menschenkette, um gegen den Braunkohlentagebau bei Garzweiler im westdeutschen Rheinland zu protestieren.
