Update and Up-Coming
Wednesday, June 22, 2011 at 12:16PM The Update part:
I’m happy to share that Ai WeiWei has been released by the Chinese authorities and is back with his family. This link will take you to a story in The Guardian for more details.
The Up-coming part:
This past April we were posting about some of the women who are working towards peace, justice and democracy, particularly in and for countries dealing with genocide and on-going human rights abuses. Of course, we posted about Aung San Suu Kyi, the heart of the Burmese pro-democracy movement.
June 19th was Suu Kyi’s 66th birthday, and the first one that she has spent out of prison or house arrest in over 15 years. In her honor, and also in solidarity with the over 2000 political prisoners still in detention in Burma, our 4th Sunday bone-making event this month will also be a celebration of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
Details: This Sunday, June 26! If you’re in Albuquerque or Santa Fe, come out to the One Million Bones office at 100 Gold SW in downtown ABQ at 2pm. We’re making bones (lots of them) and serving cake and we’d love to share both the art making and the delicious goodies with you. It’s free although we suggest a donation of $5. You can call us for more information at 505-314-1114.
We hope to see you!
