DESCRIPTION:
Hey Folks,

We have a last minute addition to our schedule of events this month. This

coming Friday Jan. 31 at 7pm, the good folks from the Beehive Collective, a

group that does amazing political graphics will be presenting their poster

called "Plan Colombia", which details the reasons for the "drug war" and the

underlying corporate interests. Check out their flyer at http://www.florycanto.org/beehive.htm or go straight to their site at http://www.beehivecollective.org

From their site:

Our featured presentation, offered in both Spanish or English, is about the

connections between colonization, militarization, and resource extraction in

the Andean Region of South America. This portable-mural ?tour? is comprised of

a 16 foot high banner version of the Plan Colombia poster that displays the

issues in context of the ?bigger picture.? The banner is simultaneously

accompanied by a six-foot tall fabric storybook, or projected ?slide show?

that has sixty enlargements of scenes from the poster. Three presenters take

turns narrating through the mural?s details and facts, helping to break down

complex issues into smaller, more digestible chunks. All the while,

continually explaining how they are connected to the "bigger picture.?

The Beehive?s Plan Colombia poster and presentation is the product of many

discussions around the issue of colonialism in the Andean Region of South

America that took place between our collective and organizers over the spring

of 2002 in Ecuador, Colombia and the U.S. These exchanges of information and

inspiration were collaboratively sewn together into a quilt of images, and

organized in a circuit of progressions and contrasts that inform and engage

the viewer throughout their journey of this elaborate graphic. This circuit,

with its pathways geared towards fostering a narrative discussion, aids in the

functionality of the graphic to be used as a political organizing tool? a

powerful tool in which to discuss an overwhelmingly complex situation in a

format that breaks the information down into more digestible, and therefore

memorable, chunks. This communication strategy allows for addressing specific

elements of the issue, still in context of the larger forces at hand, while

transcending the boundaries of language and learning
