The world is changing. Especially noticeable lately.
Whether because of the rumors for the coming “Doomsday” and the end of the Mayan calendar. Whether because of the revolutions and protests that occurred last year in various parts of the world including the Middle East, Vancouver, Canada, the Occupy movement spreading all over the world and starting on Wall Street. Whether because of the fact that more and more people are discovering the power of their minds and how they can can shape their reality. Whether because we’re entering the second decade of the XXI century.
The reasons are numerous.
But one thing is clear – something is happening. Or waiting to happen. Or both.
The world we live in is under construction. And we are all part of the (re)building.
The mission of the festival “This is how we do it” (from 20 to 22 April, 2012 at Cooper Union, Manhattan) is to speak freely about this change and the new & alternative practices in media, politics, economics, security…
This is how we do it will open on April 20 at 7 pm Eastern time with a lecture by Grace Lee Boggs, a remarcable female writer & activist, which 96 years old now, was a part of almost every important movement in the States over the past 75 years. Last year she released her latest book “The Next American Revolution: Sustainable Activism for the Twenty-First Century“. Nelson Johnson and Andrea Smith, both influential American activists will join the discussion, which will also be open to the attendees in the hall.
And here’s the best. No need to be in New York to be part of it all. This is how we do it will be broadcast directly online in real time on the venue’s website http://www.thefoundrytheatre.org.
