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

Advisory: adult language – 3:36 Goddamn it

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 Hollis’ music, which plays so well with the themes found within.
All Phil Rockstroh pieces are from his video Interstates and States of Grief.
