Art of Resistance with Beehive Design Collective
February 11 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
donation suggested but free
You are invited to join the Beehive Design Collective as they present their newly released 10 Year Anniversary edition of “MesoAmerica Resiste!”, their new book, “The True Cost of Coal”. The Bees use their massive, collaboratively produced, and intricately detailed fabric murals to tell complex global stories of stories of resistance, resilience, and solidarity. Packed with nature metaphors, peoples histories, and teeming with biodiversity, these images offer the foundation for an event of participatory discussion, poetic storytelling, and popular education.
The Beehive storytellers will guide you through their huge graphic illustrations, telling dozens of stories from the frontlines of destructive globalization in Central America to the resistance groups fighting mountaintop removal in Southern Appalachia. They’ll also be connecting these stories with the Philadelphia region and the fight against the proposed LNG plant in Chester City.
