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.
