Hello SPAZ Community its been a while since I updated about Taring Padi. I spent a lot of time working with the group and others to try to bring them to the states. We didnt get funding, but with internal funding we were trying to bring Toni Volunteero over and I had booked an entire art and speaking tour. I tried to help as much as I could to get Toni a US Visa but after months of waiting and crossing of fingers he wasnt able to get one. They wouldn't issue him a tourist visa and he couldnt satisfy the paperwork for a work visa which is what they said he needed as an artist even for unpaid work. All of October was booked west coast and a busy east coast route including DC, Philly, Balitmore Radical Bookfair, a few gigs in NYC including being scheduled to speak at a conference in NYC as part of the Signs of Change Exhibition which Taring Padi work is included in, and the month of November touring with Beehive. Most of this was cancelled due to the fact Toni wasn't able to come, but I have kept a few of the west coast events as benefit events to instead bring them to Mexico this winter. We had Taring Padi artwork up at the Portland Grassroots Media Camp, a film screening at Black Rose in Portland, an artshow at FBK house in Seattle, and now a few bay area gigs. including an artshow opening on Friday Oct 3rd RPS Gallery in Oakland, and a cafe night/film screening at Long Haul Sunday Oct 5th.
Also I just started uploading some photos to a photobucket account and want to try to put up a wordpress/blogspot with info and photo.

The return of SPAZ brunch and the debut of the new
gallery at Sunspot called "Art Zoid", this event will
begin at 10 AM on Sun. Oct. 5th at 968 Peralta ave. in S.F.
Admission is free but buffet plates of food will be $5 all you
can eat. This is to raise money for Aaron's skyrocketing legal
costs. Anyone who has art that they would like to submit for
display or for sale should bring it to sunspot on sat. the 4th
to set it up for display in the gallery. Any kind of art is OK
as long as it's good. There will also be djs in the "mix" all
day long so expect some double dutch action to go down as well.
Hope to see you all there. Cheers!

LongHaul Cafe Night Sunday Oct. 5th at 7pm. Benefit dinner for the radical art activist collective Taring Padi. Homemade Indonesian meal, screening of the documentary Indonesia: Art Activism and Rock n Roll. There will also be a discussion about Indonesian art, politics and social history along with a video conference call with some of the artists in Indonesia. This is a fundraiser and awareness event to help bring members of Taring Padi to the Zapatista organized First Global Festival of Dignified Rage Dec 26-29, 2008 in Mexico City, and in Chiapas Jan 2-4, 2009.

Known as Taring Padi, the group is self-described as an "independent non-profit cultural community based on the concept of people's culture." They arose in 1998 in the midst of major social uprising and political reformation when the corrupt Indonesian dictator President Surharto was forced out of office by a popular people's movement.
