DESCRIPTION:Film and Workshop By:\nSimon Sedillo\n\n11:30 am Workshop: Indigenous 
 Strategies for Hood Liberation\n\nThis presentation identifies several 
 specific institutions, which threaten the lives of average everyday people 
 everywhere. From banks and corporations to non-profits and universities, to 
 prisons, weapons and drugs; what role do these institutions and industries 
 have in making the poor stay poor, while making the rich get richer? This 
 workshop also shows how the devaluation of traditional forms of self 
 governance and self determination, has lead to the criminalization of 
 entire sectors of society. Finally this presentation shares some indigenous 
 strategies for self determination as guides for urban community (hood) 
 liberation.\n\n1pm Film: Xip Xop oaXaca\n\nThe implications of conscious 
 hip hop have reverberated around the world, from south east Asia, to Chile, 
 to Palestine, to Oaxaca, Mexico. Hip Hop has proven itself to be a 
 recurring primary path towards a positive recovery from the trauma 
 inflicted by poverty, repression and social unrest. The indigenous people 
 of Oaxaca have been in resistance to colonialism for over 500 years. In the 
 summer of 2006 Oaxaca, Mexico a city of one million, erupted into a six 
 month popular uprising against the extremely repressive governor, Ulises 
 Ruiz Ortiz. The uprising was met with state violence, which left hundreds 
 incarcerated, 26 dead, and an unknown amount of disappeared. 30+ years 
 after the birth of Hip Hop, its influence as a tool of community liberation 
 and community mental health, is evident in the streets of Oaxaca, Mexico. 
 This film demonstrates that the taking back of identity, territory, and 
 community through the 4 elements of hip hop culture, is alive and well 
 today.\n\nFilms by Mano Vuelta on 2010 Spring Tour\n\nSimón Sedillo\n\nis 
 a community rights defense organizer and film maker. He has spent the last 
 8 years documenting, producing and teaching community based video 
 documentation in Mexico and the US. Through lectures, workshops, and short 
 films, Sedillo breaks down the effects of neoliberalism, the North American 
 Free Trade Agreement, and militarism on indigenous communities, immigrant 
 communities, and communities of color in the US and Mexico. Through 
 collaborative media projects, Sedillo’s work has contributed to a growing 
 network of community based media production whose primary objective is to 
 share, teach, and learn from one another, about community based media 
 production and the collective construction of horizontal networks of 
 community rights defense.\n\nSponsored by the \n\nUCSC MEChA (Movimiento
