Join us for the closing of the 3rd annual Enero Zapatista Art Exhibition, El Comun, Nuestra Lucha es Por La Vida. Commemorating the 32nd anniversary of the 1994 Zapatista uprising, this gathering of artists, poets, and community will come together with the power of the word to imagine and build better worlds that counter the bad governments thirst for extraction, exploitation and death.

Instead with words and actions we will build a world where many worlds fit, a place where the land belongs to no one and to all of us because Our Struggle is for Life.  

This event will be an open-mic. If you have a poem you want to share please join us!
