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.
Taring Padi Exhibit in Oakland @ RPS First Friday Oct 3rd
Submitted by rio on Wed, 10/01/2008 - 12:13am. anarchy | diy | screening | show | talk | Taring Padi benefit at RPS Collective in Oakland | tourHello 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.

Last year, during the 11th Annual Anarchist Bookfair in March 2006, over four thousand people–from every walk of life, locals from San Francisco and visitors from around the world–enjoyed good conversation, speakers, art, and of course books!
It was easy to spend the entire day between browsing the long tables of books, magazines, zines, artwork, videos and other wares, sitting in the sun eating sandwiches from the worker-owned café or listening to a wide variety of speakers who took on subjects from the need to abolish the institution of the state (Ward Churchill), to a young dyke’s adventures in San Francisco in the mid 90s (Michelle Tea).
With so much to do and see, the Bookfair has expanded into two days for 2007! Approximately 50 anarchist groups and alternative book, magazine, and publishing people will be represented at tables selling and distributing books and materials you won’t find anywhere else.
The plans for the event also include a cafe, spoken word presentations, kid & family space, free bike valet and an art gallery.

Once a year the leaders of the 8 richest nations meet behind closed doors in secret with no publicized agenda or published minutes, to discuss the fate of the world. They’ve been making empty promises for decades about improving the environment, poverty in Africa, and lots more, but the fact is that the G8 is not the solution to these ills, it is the problem! We are preparing in Germany for large scale protests against the G8 meeting this June 6-8, 2007, and plan to come tell you about what is going on here. We have done over 200 presentations in 25+ countries since November 2005, and are now coming to your town!
