A multi-media report-back from photojournalist and co-author Andrew Stern who was working in Iraq with Naomi Klein, author of No Logo, and grassroots organizer and co-author Jennifer Whitney, who participated in the popular uprising in Argentina and organized the shut down of the WTO in Seattle.
We Are Everywhere: the irresistible rise of global anticapitalism was described by Canadian writer Naomi Klein as ?...the first book to truly capture and embody the exuberant creativity and radical intellect of the protest movements.? Two of the book?s co-producers, author Jennifer Whitney and photojournalist Andrew Stern, are traveling throughout the US in order to present not only the book, but also the results of their further research and investigation into international protest movements and their ties to the growing anti-war movement. Stern is just back from his second trip to Iraq, and will present hard-hitting images from the streets of Baghdad to accompany Whitney?s analysis. The presentation is a multimedia performance comprised of several elements: A slideshow of images from the current uprising in Iraq, a video highlighting the diversity of various threads of resistance around the world, an exhibition of beautiful photos and illustrative quotations from their book, a brief talk on the current situation in Iraq and the connections between the anti-war movements and the global anticapitalist movements covered in We Are Everywhere, and an open discussion with the audience.
