*CALL FOR ART* - Toronto Community Mobilization Network
The Group of 8 Leaders and the Group of 20 Leaders are meeting in
Ontario,
from the 25th to the 27th of June, 2010.
In opposition to the G8/20 and with a will to transform, people across
Turtle Island are organizing community-based days of action in Toronto,
Canada. The days of action will be led by Toronto-based organizations of
people of colour, indigenous peoples, women, the poor, the working
class,
queer and trans people and disAbled people. On these days, we call for
Days of Action across the world that showcase solutions from the ground
up.
*The G8/20 Arts Committee is seeking artwork to support the
mobilizations.*
Send us graphics, photos, music, videos, etc. We want a multiplicity
of media,
struggles and voices reflected.
Themes:
*Art that reflects what is wrong with the G8/20*
that capitalism is a system that cannot be fixed; that these so-called
leaders do not represent us; that market-based solutions to ecological
catastrophe are unsustainable and only serve to deepen systems of
oppression; that these meetings are rooted in war, in greed, in
patriarchy, in imperialism, in racism and in neo-colonialism.
*Art that reflects the world we are fighting for*
A world with self-determination for indigenous peoples; climate justice;
income equity and community control over resources; migrant justice
and an
end to war and occupation.
*Art that reflects the work we are doing leading up to, during and
beyond the G8/20*
community organizing; people making decisions for themselves; and
building
local struggles.
*How artwork will be distributed*
We will start by posting an on-line gallery where people can download
artwork to use. In the months leading up to June we plan to print a
collection of art and encourage people to reproduce and distribute
the images using methods like screenprinting, stencils and wheatpaste.
Guidelines for visual submissions:
Format: High resolution digital files (jpg, tiff, pdf)
For printing: black and white or 2 colours only.
For posting on-line: full colour or black and white.
Need a place to scan or photograph your work? Just ask! We can help.
*URGENT NEED: POSTER DESIGNS*
To date we have produced one poster, the first in what we hope will be
a series that will lead up to the summit.
View the first poster here:

Deadline for next poster: Tuesday March 9

What: The "I (heart) Alt Media" party
When: Thursday March 25th @ 9pm
Where: Cinecycle 129 Spadina Avenue,
Near Queen and Spadina
Who: Featuring woot-woot-artists like Garbageface, John Rose, Anand
Rajaram, Kay Pettigrew, Bob Wiseman, D'bi Young,
and DJ Nick Red& DJ B#
Why: Because you love alt media
Usually finding good news is harder than finding a good party.
Luckily on Thursday, March 25th, you're going to be able to find both.
That night Groundwire, Upping the Anti and the Toronto Media Co-op are
hosting an epic, fun-filled evening with music, drinks, an art auction by
artist CoCo.http://coreychristophercomely.com/cocoasartist/home.html, a
raffle and other awesome events in order to raise as much money as we can.
The G20 is coming to Toronto in late June 2010 and we are trying to set
up the infrastructure necessary to cover it. We need journalists,
writers, equipment, publications and cash to make it all happen.

City is a Sweatshop
As we prepare to flood the streets of Toronto on May Day (May 1, 2010),
and as we build our resistance to the G8/G20 Summits coming to Toronto in
June 2010, this series of events will lay out a vision for a city that
includes everyone that lives, works, loves and struggles here.
