InterOccupy Arts Call |#F22 |: 10pm Eastern/7pm Pacific

InterOccupy Arts Call | Wed Feb 22 | 10pm Eastern/7pm Pacific 

Artists as Bridges: How are artists connecting Occupy and other movements for economic and social justice?

As Occupy and 'The 99%' movement expands, it continues to deepen its connections with communities and issues of all kinds. On this call, we will hear from artists who are doing powerful, innovative work of 'bridging', using the unique power of art, music, performance and spectacle, to connect Occupy to new issues and communities, and vice versa.   

Presentations:

• Housing and Foreclosures: The Singing Auction Blockade; Michael Premo and Rachel Falcone, Housing is a Human Right
• Immigrant Rights: The World vs. The 1%; Undocumented and Awkward; Favianna Rodrigues - Just Seeds, Presente! - Julio Rodriguez - Dreamers Adrift
• Food Justice, Farming and Urban Gardens: Occupy Our Food Supply! - Seth Wulsin, Occupy Gardens NYC 

...and more to be announced soon!

There will be breakouts sessions where *everyone* will have a chance to discuss questions about how to make these kinds of connections stronger, and continue to build the occupy movement.
