 The Beehive Collective's cross-pollination tour to help build grassroots resistance to the Free Trade Area of the Americas! Our swarm is headed out on a two month tour down the entire east coast, from Maine to Miami, in our new veggie-oil powered pollination unit, visiting schools and organizations, with storytelling presentations of our educational political graphics about the Free Trade Area of the Americas.Our illustration-based communication strategy is punctuated with opportunities for audience participation... It's to be understood by anyone, not just the experts and political analysts! Wait!? ...You aren't familiar with the posters? You can view them and read their written narratives at www.beehivecollective.org We're interested in collaborating with local groups that are focused on anti-globalization and international solidarity work, teachers interested in digestible discussions that utilize cartoons as well as facts, and student groups looking for inspired information ... Our featured presentation, available in spanish or english, is a portable- mural "tour" comprised of a 16 foot long banner version of the FTAA poster that displays the issues in context of the "bigger picture." The banner is simultaneously accompanied by a six-foot tall fabric storybook, or projected "slide show" that has forty enlargements of scenes from the poster. Four presenters take turns narrating through the mural's details and facts, helping to break down complex issues into smaller, more digestible chunks. All the while, continually explaining how they are connected to the "bigger picture." We have no set speaker fees, but, yes, the hive needs honey... and we'd really love help in our fundraising efforts. For universities, we're encouraging student groups to take up this opportunity for unique collaborations amidst art, environmental, Latin American, and peace groups... Funds from the Fall tours will be used to support free presentations and distribution in Mexico and Central America, and the production of our next poster, about Plan Puebla Panama, scheduled to hatch this coming March, in time for the Latin American Social Forum in Quito, Ecuador!
