I've been immersed in being a part of a phenomenon, and I need your help to spread the word.
Please check out http://www.mauistopthewar.com
Without the intent of being so, we turned into the biggest anti-war art protest in the United States since BEFORE the fall of Saddam Hussein! This was a spontaneous collective of artists who had pieces that were personal statements against this war, that war, those wars and for peace that were very unlikely to get venues because they were controversial.
The opening page will fill you in. What's even more exciting is that this showplace (community supported!) is now acting as a center for action on issues important to the local community - even beyond the war itself!
Here's one of my contributions to the show, which is a five-minute video tour of the gallery as I sing out to all rulers and leaders to "Stop Killing Our Children" I've made it pretty clear I'm technologically challenged, so I'm calling on every Zaadster who reads this to help get the word out. Here's where a lot of us would like to see this go...
Starting here on Maui, we send some pieces from the show to a venue in, say California that gathers local artists for their statements. Then, some from us and some from them goes to the next venue, and on and on until a massive show is held, let's say, at the Jacob Javitts Convention Center in that little island on the other side of the world called Manhattan!
I happen to believe that Zaadsters will embrace what is going on here. Please help me get this info out here in the community so we can be another seed of change.
IMAGINE a country of artists uniting to give voice and provide space for us to work together against war!
