In spite of the snow and the chilly currents, our third gathering to plan for the Cultural Caravan for Peace & Solidarity was filled with warm love and energy! Creative self-expression was the rule of the night! We were blessed with the presence of amazing community artists, amongst them Gabriella Callender from Mahina Movement and Graciella Barreto, Venezuelan poet and protest singer representing her community in Union City, NJ. We also counted with the presence of long-term community activists like German Ramirez and Julman Tolentino. In the midst songs, poetry, and stories charged with resistance messages, we gathered to further develop the v ision of the Caravan.
It has been decided that the caravan will initiate its journey first traveling to Playas, Ecuador throughout the whole month of August of 2010. Playas is a small beach and fishing town on the southern part of the coast of Ecuador. The caravan hopes to support and build with local artists and activists in Playas, who are currently working to preserve their native art and culture as well as build their first cultural center ever! Please stay tunned for the developments of the Cultural Caravan for Peace & Solidarity Through Latin America!
