Thursday, April 19th:Mesoamerica Resiste! An evening with the Beehive Collective
at AK Press
Co-hosted by the Chiapas Support Committee
7:30 PM, FREE

The Beehive Collective is a political graphics workshop based in Maine, known for creating accessible, powerful imagery to explain important issues of our time. Since 2001, the Bees have been working on a trilogy of posters on corporate globalization. Parts one and two dealt with the proposed FTAA trade agreement and Plan Colombia; the third poster, currently in progress, focuses on Plan Puebla-Panama (PPP), a mega-infrastructure development project for southern Mexico and Central America designed to facilitate corporate exploitation of the region, paving the way for the Free Trade Area of the Americas.

With their presentation "Dismanteling Monoculture: Tale of Ants and Economics in the Americas," the Bees will use three giant illustrated portable murals, a slideshow, and an engaging narrative to take us on an interactive visual tour of the connections between colonization, militarization, and resource extraction in the Americas. Join us they deconstruct the complex and overwhelming issues that are shaping our world, using bioregionally accurate depictions of animals and insects as metaphors to link cultural and ecological diversity.
