Can Today's "Sharpie Generation" Meet This Challenge?

What's green, carries a message, and grows on walls? Moss graffiti! Yes, graffiti, but created from a potent mixture of pulverised moss, a little sugar and some beer or live yoghurt & water. Art students, I am looking to you to lead the way down a mossy green path of civil disobedience here!

This simple yet effective concoction is an old favourite of gardeners trying to encourage moss growth and provides an excellent alternative to spray paint. Great pic example here: http://vl.am/Wh4

(creates several small pieces or 1 large piece of graffiti)

They Need Your Voice!

In Iran, all is quiet.
no sounds of gunfire
no crowds chanting
no one making speeches
no one calls home
from their prison cell
or talks about their ordeal

They still grieve their loved ones
They still seek justice
They are not forgotten

Some write letters
Some recite poetry
But to really be HEARD
They need your VOICE.
Global SILENCE can be a KILLER!
SPEAK NOW!

Be One in a MILLION

نوید عزیزم

تو مرا نمیشناسی، و من نیز تا هنگام خواندن خبر بازداشت ومحکومیتت به یکسال زندان اواخر مارس، که احتمال میدهم قبل از ۳۰ مارس ۲۰۱۰ دستگیر شدهباشی، نامت را هرگز نشنیده بودم. بدین ترتیب ما کاملا با هم غریبه ایم، با اینوجود حس میکنم که ما یکدیگر را به خوبی میشناسیم.

UPDATE: Iran: Our Pride; Their Shame

Iran: Our Pride and Our Shame

lissnup — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 23:05:54 +0000

Are you proud to be Iranian? You should be! We’re going to make a movie and if you are truly proud to be Iranian then you should be in it. It is time to remind the world that Iranian people are not responsible for the shameful behaviour of the regime in Iran.

If you are not Iranian, but you still want to take part, you can make a staterment as a friend of the Iranian people or as a proxy for the unknown numbers of Iranians who have been arrested and imprisoned and whose names we do not even know.

Deadline: 1 April / 12 Farvardin LATEST

You may have forgotten Nadia, the girl who was raped by the dogs of the occupation in the notorious prison Abu Ghraib, and to revive your memory, this is her story which she revealed; she did not throw herself in the arms of her family, like any aggrieved, oppressed prisoner would do, a prisoner with a fire inside longing for his family.
