The Beehive Design Collective: Plan Columbia
The Bees are an artist/activist group from the East Coast that uses their art to illustrate large social problems-from the true cost of coal to the Free Trade Area of the Americas. This semester they will be presenting their Plan Colombia project.
A little bit about Plan Cololumbia:
The long history of colonialism in the Americas, currently manifested in the Andean Region as "Plan Colombia", is a strong metaphor of the multi-faceted destructive influences of U.S. foreign policy and corporate monoculture on a global scale. This graphic attempts to expose the lie of the drug war as a smokescreen for multinational corporation's interests in extraction of the rich biodiversity and natural resources of the Amazon and her peoples.
The Bees will display their dizzyingly intricate 8x20 foot mural while explaining what each drawing within the mural represents via a powerpoint presentation, unfolding the true story of Plan Columbia.
This event is free of charge and open to all members of our community.
