Potluck / Discussion: Museum Piece

29Oct11

Saturday, November 12th, 2011 / 1-3pm

@ The Bloom Collective

Come join us for a potluck and discussion examining how local museums (Grand Rapids Public Museum, Fred Meijer Gardens, Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum) continue to perpetuate oppression and favor the elite through their choice of exhibits and their portrayal of history. Bring a dish to pass as we discover what motivates these institutions choices around what they teach us… and what they don’t.

Hello,

I’m working with an artists collective in Arizona right now, and we’re checking in with various groups through Slingshot’s Radical Contact List.

We just started an art and activism ‘zine and we’ve got it posted in both readable and print PDF versions here:

http://zinelibrary.info/dumpster-union-dispatch-1.

And in html: http://www.hungryknife.com/iddu/dudi1/dud_i1.html.

Please check it out and let us know what you think! We’re not sure if we want the ‘zine to stick with local news or what, but we’ve been talking about making the next issue about prisoners and the Prison Industrial Complex so we’re looking for feedback and comrades to see what direction we can take our work.

Thanks and take care!

–Alex
