Beehive Design Collective Comes to Boston

The Beehive Design Collective

The Beehive Design Collective spent some time this weekend at Boston’s Lucy Parsons Center, and will be making a few other appearances in the coming days.  Tonight they’re at BU Central (775 Commonwealth Ave. – 7:00PM) and at Emerson College tomorrow (216 Tremont St, in the Bill Bordy Auditorium at 2:30PM.)  They’ll wind up their Boston area appearances at the Heartbeat Collective in Jamaica Plain (35 Wyman St. – 7:30PM) on Wednesday, November 12th.

This presentation will feature a brand new interactive graphics workshop about North-South Solidarity with scenes from MESOAMERICA RESISTE the final epic chapter in their globalization trilogy. The workshop will deal specifically with the local effects of the NAFTA-style Free Trade zone known as Atlantica, making striking connections with the Mesoamerican experience of free trade as felt over the past decade. It takes a unique approach at examining cross-border and cross-cultural solidarity.

Oh! The Beehive folks are super cool! I saw them in Ithaca, NY, and somewhere I have a screened patch on recycled-plastic-bottle fabric. It’s great, it has a roller-skating revolutionary ant on it! I don’t think I’ll make it to BU tonight…but maybe next time…
