Fwd: Mesoamérica Resiste; This Saturday, Sept. 7: Beehive Collective!

Reminder: TODAY!!

Experience a journey of art, activism, and education with the Beehive Collective!

The Beehive Design Collective, an all-volunteer activist arts collective, is buzzing back to CMU on September 7. Known for their multidisciplinary work, they create collaborative, anti-copyright images that serve as powerful educational and organizing tools. Their mission? To use art as a catalyst for social change, community engagement, and education about shared histories of struggle. After an inspiring visit in 2008, the Bees are returning to CMU with two impactful projects – Mesoamérica Resiste and The True Cost of Coal. These projects document resistance to resource extraction and celebrate stories of struggle from mountain communities. Mesoamérica Resiste is a deep dive into the fight against resource extraction and free trade in Central America, highlighting stories of cross-border social movements led by Indigenous peoples. The True Cost of Coal uses the lens of mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia to understand the historical and contemporary story of energy and resource extraction. It features a portable mural teeming with intricate images of plants and animals from the most biodiverse temperate forest on the planet. The Bees are not just about creating graphics; they're about fostering social relationships based on solidarity and reaching out to a new generation of activists. They provide training to activists and educators across the U.S. on how to use their graphics as popular education tools and weave a larger narrative about the global fight against an economy based on colonialism, land grabs, and exploitation. This event is co-sponsored by the Center for the Arts in Society, the Department of Languages, Cultures, and Applied Linguistics, the Center for Student Diversity and Inclusion, the Department of History/Global Studies, The Humanities Scholars Program Diane and Bradford Smith Family Fund, and the Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry.
