 UCSC\nTime: 1-3\nFREE\n(FILM/DISCUSSION+SHORT PERFORMANCE)\n\nThis fall 5 
 traditional string musicians from Acayucan, Veracruz known as the 
 collective “Son Altepee”, will be touring a short documentary film, 
 performances, and discussions. We will be touring a short documentary 
 talking about their work and music, and how they use it as a tool for 
 community organizing. We will also be talking about the current political 
 situation in Mexico, including the effects of neoliberalsm on communities 
 in Veracruz, the so-called war on drugs, and the current electoral fraud 
 scandal. Here is a little bit more about how they see themselves and the 
 world around them.\n\nSimón Sedillo:\nIs a community rights defense 
 organizer and filmmaker. He has spent the last 9 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 
 communities 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\nOur 
 Story:\nManovuelta: works on different types of community based media 
 productions with indigenous communities, immigrant communities, and 
 communities of color both in the US and in Mexico. "Ayer, Hoy y Mañana: 
 Música Tradicional de Cuerdas” , "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow: 
 Traditional String Music" is the project that will be touring this Fall 
 2012.\n\nSon Altepee make their own instruments, repair instruments, teach 
 string music, contribute to traditional community celebrations, build 
 community with elders and youth in several communities throughout southern 
 Veracruz, and they support several struggles for liberation and self 
 determination in Veracruz and throughout Mexico. Their work sets the bar a 
 lot higher for anybody that is trying to build anything, from the bottom 
 up.\n\nHere is a little bit more about how they see themselves and the 
 world around them:\nWe are a group of youth from different parts of 
 southern Veracruz who see string music as a tool of social consciousness in 
 a shared environment: the huapango, a traditional celebration of our 
 indigenous communities. We promote community based organization and 
 participation. We believe it is possible to achieve a common good through 
 community values, as opposed to the social structures imposed by the high 
 circles of power. The mass media and official educational structures show 
 us that individualism, corruption, violence, and oblivion are the 
 foundations of modern day life. Through our contact with elder musicians 
 from our region we have learned that there are many different ways to live 
 this life, which can be based on a sense of community, memory, collective 
 work, respect and equality. These are the foundations we have to build a 
 society based upon the collective inheritance of our peoples." \n
