3rd Annual Enero Zapatista Bay Area Event:
A message from Bosque Palestina Libre in the Cholulteca and Volcanoes region and postcard making in solidarity with their struggle.
Friday, January 16
6:30 - 9:30 pm
Eastside Arts Alliance,
2277 International Blvd, Oakland
Representatives from the Cholulteca and Volcanes regions will send a message reporting on their ongoing struggle to practice autonomía rebelde through the recovery of a former landfill, now renamed Bosque Palestina Libre—a community space committed to the struggle for life against the capitalist hydra. Inspired by La Montaña, the Zapatista vessel that sailed to Europe to build solidarity by sharing their struggle for a dignified life, and by the Zapatista Air Force—an action in which paper airplanes crossed military fences carrying rebellious messages—the gathering will conclude with the sending of postcards from the Bay Area. These postcards will carry messages of solidarity, dignity, and resistance in support of Bosque Palestina Libre.
Enero Zapatista Bay Area is a month-long series of events on Ohlone territory ( San Francisco Bay Area) commemorating the Zapatistas’ January 1, 1994 uprising. For more information about Enero Zapatista Bay Area please follow @enerozapatista.bayarea on instagram.
