A 30minute collage not about official birth certificates, not about bin Laden and not about our grand economic recovery. Rather a piece that showcases three socio-ecological conscious artists with the words of Carl Sagan thrown in at the end to place all in context. With some appropriate music to help weave it all together

3 inspirations came calling for this program; 1st the video-poetry by Phil and Angela Rockstroh at VIMEO. Then a virtual collaboration with a young woman in Victoria, BC for her water justice story Salmon Kiss. And finally Hearts of Space did a retrospective look at Mark Hollisâ music, which plays so well with the themes found within. All Phil Rockstroh pieces are from his video Interstates and States of Grief.
