weaving our web of life

In 2016, a bunch of people who'd worked in the federal government and knew where the pressure points are, came together as Indivisible - to organize and inform activists resisting the incoming administration.

With Trump back in office - again and worse, Indivisible is back - bigger and better. With a new guide for interested individuals and concerned communities.

11 11 11

At the end of four years of World War I’s devastation in 1918, leaders negotiated for the guns in Europe to fall silent once and for all on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. 11 11 11. 

That peace did not last, wars continue, deaths and devastation have grown much worse. Armistice Day is now Veterans Day. The world still longs for peace and goodwill. 

On November 5, to our utter shock and despair - Donald Trump won the US presidency again. As the 47th he will most likely do worse than he did as the 45th president.

Allow this resilience and not bow down under the arc of history as it continues to churn through errors?

Negros farmers support

The best thing about the annual MassKara Festival is the attention and involvement it draws to Bacolod and Negros Occidental. More than the glitz and hype of all the other activities - it is the focus on local farmers and the highlight on freshly grown produce that we absolutely favor and support. 

Farmers’ markets and food fairs are a fundamental part of the urban-rural interface. They continue to grow in popularity, mostly due to the awakened consumer interest in obtaining fresh products - specially produce directly from farms close by.

These allow consumers to have access to locally grown, farm-fresh produce, enable farmers to develop personal relationships with their customers, and cultivate consumer loyalty with the farmers who grow the produce.

The Silk Roads: blood and gold

"No man is an island." Globalism, the interconnectedness of distant cultures, is not as modern a concept as it sounds. For millennia humans have been sharing treasures, ideas, food - and other humans, which is far less spoken of when reminiscing about the romantic past. 

First part of the exhibition: China, Japan, Korea, Indonesia

We cannot forget that the brutalism of the ancient world always accompanied its greatest beauties. That is one of the threads woven into the story of Silk Roads, the new exhibition at the British Museum.
