"Broken On All Sides is a compelling documentary addressing racial inequities within our criminal justice system and its devastating collateral consequences. It is an excellent resource to use in educating, motivating, and empowering your group, organization, or community on this critical issue." - James E. Williams, Jr., Public Defender & Chair of the Task Force on Racial and Ethnic Bias in the Criminal Justice System - https://www.facebook.com/events/446501588725813/
Saturday November 17, 7pm - Wooden Shoe Books - 704 South St - The Persistence of Dreams-Sublevarte Colectivo - Sublevarte Colectivo, a group born of the 1999 student strikes in Mexico City, will do a retrospective exhibition of their thirteen years of graphic production. In La Persistencia de los Sueños, they will bring their graphic street interventions to highlight the various social movements and uprisings in which they participated and supported. Sublevarte Colectivo believes that the graphic arts should be a vehicle of expression and communication in society, and that these days the power of the visual image is stronger than words. They have brought this vision to their work with the Zapatistas, the flower sellers of Atenco, the striking teachers of Oaxaca, and dozens of other social struggles in Mexico. ”Our world is a space to express dreams and reality. We believe in an organization that is active every day and never gives up. Each line, color, and shape frame our destiny and the world we wish to create.”
