Love Balm For My SpiritChild
Saturday, January 28, 3:00pm , $5-20 Sliding Scale
EastSide Cultural Center,
2277 International Blvd,
Oakland, CA 94606
Love Balm for My SpiritChild: Testimonies of Healing Justice through Mothers' Memory is a 4-part healing performance workshop series that celebrates the spirit of commemorative justice in mothers. It was specifically inspired by how mothers' memory has served as a vehicle for justice in the cases of the Rwandan Tutsi Genocide, Oscar Grant III, Amadou Diallo, and Emmett Till. This workshop series culminates in an interactive performance of the testimonies and candlelight vigil. The performance of these testimonies infuses the collective consciousness of our communities with a renewed and sacred awareness of the precious healing found in mothers' memory. Don't miss your opportunity to share in this process of testimony, witness and theatre.

Final Friday Film & Solidarity Series
JAM DOCU GANGJEONG
Friday, January 27th, 7pm, FREE
A film about the struggle to stop military buildup in Jeju Island's Gangjeong village
On the island of Jeju, off the tip of South Korea, the South Korean government has been trying to build a huge naval base in Gangjeong Village that will not only host the Korean military, but also US naval warships and destroyers. From the beginning, the villagers have been peacefully resisting the construction of this base, but they have been brutally suppressed by the police and mainland military, as well as heavily fined for the "obstruction of governmental affairs."
Come and hear why the people in Gangjeong Village want this naval base construction stopped, and find out ways to support the fight against displacement and militarism on an island of peace.
Discussion to follow screening, with guest performance by Dohee Lee!
HOBAK is an anti-imperialist, non-hierarchical collective of Koreans in Diaspora living and organizing for peace and social justice here in the Bay Area and on the Korean Peninsula. |
