At this very moment, we’re watching Steven Fisher’s Adapting to Scarcity fundraiser in Bend, Oregon from afar (thanks technology!). It looks and sounds like a fabulous event – wonderful performers, wonderful costumes and clearly, wonderful people. To help convey what Adapting to Scarcity is about for his fundraiser, we put together a ~5 minute video entitled “Adapting to Scarcity: Who We Are and What We’re Up To”:
The past few weeks were busy ones indeed. Between reworking our website, coordinating volunteers, preparing for the photo exposition, starting our video workshops, and helping out at IMDEC’s environmental fairs, we have been going going going. After launching the photo exposition in the newly formed El Salto Cultural House on Friday night, we helped IMDEC take it on tour in La Huizachera and Sierra del Tigre. IMDEC works with both of these communities, and runs popular environmental education programs with children.
We are incredibly excited to be receiving our intern, Steve Fisher, in the beginning of January to help us interview, film, and develop our video workshops for three months. We have known Steve for years, and truly value his anthropological background and zest for popular education. He’s also fluent in Spanish, which will come in very handy.
Steve is organizing a fundraiser to pay for his travel and living expenses. All funds he raises beyond these costs will go directly to the Adapting to Scarcity project. Below are the fundraiser details – from what we’ve heard, it’s an event not to be missed. The flier for the event can be downloaded here.
La Huizachera photo exposition, “Con Ojos de Niños” (Through the Eyes of Children) opens in the municipio of El Salto on Friday! Photograph titles are being finalized and mounting solutions investigated to easily move the photos among a variety of spaces (schools, central plaza, and cultural center). Below are the final 26 photos. As soon as the titles are set in the next day or two, we will post them.
