Ron Finley Takes off Our Skin
Fresh off the airplane from San Francisco, Ron Finley gave us some updates to his project. Not only is he getting people to plant some shit, he is working with the city of LA to change some laws. Forward motion.
To get us to understand the power of transformation (inspired by Miguel Atwood Ferguson's playing), of compost, he led us through a meditation into the infinite, into the Great Recycler. Expand your vision, expand your world.
We Must Hold The Land Together
Sandra McNeil, executive director of TRUST SouthLA, is speaking very strongly about the way that economic justice can be won through communally-held land.
Finding a way to hold down the cost of rent is done by members of the TRUST controlling almost the entire process of buying property, holding, leasing, renting, and ultimately sharing. A strong case for a return to The Commons.
Helicopters of Hope
Robin Petgrave is putting awe into awesome. He is training kids to be the pilots of tomorrow. He runs an aeronautical museum of the future because he knows the kids from Compton that he is training to fly will be in the museums of the future. And he is not lying.
There are already world record setters in his cadre. Find out more about him on the sidebar of our website!
Curator Grace Kim Opens the Third Set
"It's really, really easy to use inspiration as a cop out."
Werd. Get out your seat and make it happen.

Skid Row is Inevitable
Mitch Artman is shaking us a bit, pointing to the ways in which we are complicit in creating. Twin Towers is the largest mental institution in the WORLD...and it is a jail. Most people are there for parole violation...
On his way here, Mitch saw group of cats "Training" on killing a mouse. They would let it go, and capture it again. Over and over. He wanted to jump the fence to kill the mouse out of compassion, but the entire fence was topped with barbed wire, all the way around.
" Sometimes you can't jump the fence to save the mouse. Sometimes you can only send compassion to the mouse."
