Episode 7 - Working With History - The Garrison Library
The Garrison Library is a gem within Gibraltar’s old town. This building has been a centre of discourse, knowledge and recreation since it’s founding in the late 1700’s. Dr Jennifer Ballantine-Perera tells us more about the proud legacy of this noble building and also about the Gibraltar Chronicle, originally housed by the Garrison Library, from its establishment in 1801 all the way up to the 2000’s, the old Gibraltar Chronicle building on Town Range has been reclaimed by the Garrison Library to be restored.

International symposium on borders and bordering begins at the Garrison Library
A group of international speakers are on the Rock for Borders and Bordering, a symposium at the Garrison Library.
Now in its 6th year, the symposium first started as a way to commemorate the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht in 2013. As organiser of the event, Jennifer Ballantine Perera puts it, monumental things have happened since then. Another driver of the topic of borders has been this year's 50th anniversary of the Spain Gibraltar border closure.
The event was opened on Thursday by the Deputy Chief Minister and tomorrow is the last day of talks. 15 speakers are presenting at the event, all discussing different strands of their studies, under the umbrella topics of, borders, boundaries and Brexit.
There have also been some speakers from the Åland Islands.
We caught up with some of the speakers about their respective topics and how they relate to Gibraltar.

GIBRALTAR – A GREAT EUROPEAN CITY STATE
Alan Perez Universal Immigrant 2017 project The Encyclopedia of Migrants L'age de la tortue France
As part of the European project 'The Encyclopedia of Migrants' developed by the organisation L'age de la tortue in Rennes, France. Alan Perez Developed two projects. Universal Immigrant and Origins of communication Which were exhibited at the Garrison library in Gibraltar, 2017.
The Encyclopedia of Immigrants
Artist: Alan Perez
Alanperezart.com
Title: Universal Immigrant
The project is a film based on the life of a Gibraltarian student who left Gibraltar to study and then pursued a career as an international acclaimed DJ, lived in London and traveled the world.
In London he was an immigrant and when he traveled abroad to work as a DJ he was also considered a foreign worker. When he returned to Gibraltar he would live at his parents ' house and had no rights to any government benefits, as he was not working in Gibraltar.
He became a universal immigrant who would travel from country to country but did not legally belong anywhere. His identity was lost and he was the prototype of a modern day traveler who can only be defined as a citizen of the world.
Due to modern technology, easy travel abroad and the hunger for success, the life of this character does no longer conform with the norms of society, but to a vision of a modern universal Immigrant.
As a young Gibraltarian art student studying in Scotland I sometimes questioned who Gibraltarians are, or how other countries see us. We are not a country, but a colony, which in the modern world can sometimes be seen as an anomaly and probe the frequent question of misunderstanding about who we are or where we come from. Are we Gibraltarians? Or are we British? Do the British see us as British? And what does it mean to be Gibraltarian, when you have no rights, when you have spent many years abroad and then decide to come back to your ‘home’ and you have no rights to Medical care, social housing or benefits for unemployment?
In my film I show the places this Gibraltarian DJ travels to for work, but ironically does not belong there. Today’s immigrants can have work, money and even fame, but do not belong anywhere; this is a new kind of immigrant who is part of an international phenomenon of universal immigrants.
Origins of communication
This work pays homage to all the immigrants who were able to collaborate and those who have not been able to be part of The Encyclopedia of Immigrants. It focuses on the origins of human communication and brings writing to its essence of mark making and is reference to primitive drawing, which was the origins of human communication.
It also focuses on the possible extinction of the art of letter writing as we knew it and comments on how technology is shaping who humans communicate today through e-mails, mobile texting, messaging and social media.
In the film you can see marks which come from letters that have been written by Immigrants and amplified using a digital microscope. There is Arab, Chinese and English writing, but when amplified to the essence of mark making, all the marks merge together as one language which has no barriers and like a poetic dance the letters are send to the wind and no longer belong to a particular country or culture, but to the human race.

Attorney General; Brexit confusion results in uncertainty for Gibraltar
The Attorney General, Michael Llamas QC, has said the latest deadlock on Brexit talks are a measure of the enormous complexities the UK is having to face.
Speaking to the Symposium on Self Determination at the Garrison Library which started today, Mr Llamas said Gibraltar will continue to face uncertainty in the midst of this confusion, but the Rock’s strategy is focused on border fluidity, access to the UK market, and new trade deals the UK will be negotiating.
Mr Llamas described the Gibraltar Spain border as the greatest tragedy of Brexit, as it is a textbook example of what the EU was meant to be about. To illustrate this, he said every EU state was represented in the cross-border workforce, except Luxembourg.

Minister Isola rejects GGCA criticism on digital services
Minister Isola says he does not accept the GGCA's criticism or the claim that pausing the roll-out is causing more work. And, regardless, he believes the priority of all involved should be the long term functionality of the various new digital services being implemented, and not whether there is more or less work to be done in order to achieve it.

Taking the dispute to the courts could be risky, says Cambridge professor
A Cambridge University Professor of International Law has told GBC taking a sovereignty dispute like the one concerning Gibraltar to the International Court of Justice would be inherently risky. Professor Marc Weller was speaking at a symposium on self-determination at the Garrison Library.
