California Water Politics (which i haven't seen yet) and then they
make a giant poster with compelling artwork that makes it easy to
see the big picture.

Subject: Bees swarm Bay Area with new graphic and tour! Oct 19-21
<br>
<br>
PLEASE FORWARD!
<br>
<br>
We have some exciting news: the Bees will be swarming the Bay Area
with a new graphic and tour focused on California water politics
in the midst of a
<br>
massive drought. Sucked Dry: Examining Drought and Privatization
from Mesoamérica to California, draws inspiration from struggles
against large-scale
<br>
infrastructure projects throughout MesoAmerica, connecting local
and the global struggle for control and protection of water.
<br>
<br>
Oct 19: 2pm Dolores Park, SF
<br>
Oct 20: 6:30pm Greenpeace warehouse, 955 7th St., W.
Oakland co-sponsored by Rising Tide
<br>
Oct 21: 5:30pm Gill Tract Farm, Albany (at the intersection of
Marin & San Pablo) co-sponsored by Food & Water Watch
& California Student
<br>
Sustainability Coalition
<br>
<br>
<br>
About the tour:
<br>
<br>
California is in the midst of a historical drought, the most
severe the region has had in the last 500 years. This water crisis
has devastated resources,
<br>
with several communities facing the prospect of running dry. A
number of projects advocating infrastructure development such as
the BDCP and Prop 1 have
<br>
been proposed as solutions for the state, but are they truly in
the interests for all? What are their impacts to our drying rivers
and reservoirs?
<br>
Fisheries and communities? Drawing inspiration from struggles
against large-scale infrastructure projects throughout
MesoAmerica, the Bees will take you
<br>
on a visual journey touching on the local and the global struggle
for control and protection of water.
<br>
We will also be introducing a *brand new graphic* (still in draft
form) that deals specifically with the fight to stop the Tunnel
project that threatens
<br>
the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
<br>
<br>
About the Bees
<br>
<br>
Based out of small-town Machias across the country in rural Maine,
the Beehive Design Collective is an all-volunteer organization of
activists, artists,
<br>
educators and organizers. Our main focus is creating and
presenting graphic works about global issues internationally.
These portable murals are teeming
<br>
with intricate images of plants and animals, illustrating surreal
but meticulously researched scenes of sociocultural realities in
the modern world. Not
<br>
only are our graphics detailed, beautiful works of art, but they
also are tools in understanding the big picture of a region's
struggles.
