Listen to the transmission of Radio Liberada from somewhere in Honduras: http://208.43.218.127:8070/

Before and after the military coup in Honduras, Radio Liberada has been transmitting a live chronicle of what is happening in Honduras, its opposition, and the mobilizations by popular and indigenous organizations against the coup and for the undertaking of a new constitutional assembly.

Last Thursday (25), a red rally gathered around the Statehouse with a microphone. Wanting to continue the noise, this morning (29) citizens of Arawak City passed out yellow fliers reading "Where are the Libraries?" and "Missing: 227.3 Million Dollars in Library Funding." Good weather and free books marked the founding of the People's Library of Arawak City. Organizers encouraged the visitors to explore their new space. The result: readers lounging in the green grass, readers walking along the paved paths, and readers enjoying the air conditioning on the tile floor of the Statehouse Rotunda. Local media sources came to witness; passers-by asked questions. The only negative opinion of the new library came from a grounds keeper, who complained about the many bikes locked-up on the public benches. (The vote on the State budget has been delayed for another week.)

I think you might get a kick out of these art work installations I did at the OSU campus Huntington Bank. The first piece was called "This is not a pipe. after Magritte". It featured a large blown glass pipe sculpture with glass marijuana nuggets in the bowl. The manager allowed me to place the work there because she said she was a child of the seventies.
