VOICESOFRESISTANCE 3
sponsored by the south asian progressive action collective and insight arts
January 2004
�Dear SAPAC and Stone Soup Cooperative
�The South Asian Progressive Action Collective invites you to submit your work to Voices of Resistance 3 (VOR3), an exploration and affirmation of a south asian diasporic identity. VOR3 is cosponsored by Insight Arts and the event will be held Saturday, March 6, 2004 at the Insight Arts gallery space.� Insight Arts is in the United Church of Rogers Park, corner of Morse and Ashland Avenues in Chicago.� Our last VOR was a great success - more than 100 people came to hear a variety of spoken-word and performance artists from within Chicago�s South Asian community.
This year we are seeking art that touches on otherness.� We are asking for art that is not only grounded in our own histories of displacement and migration, but also speaks to how we treat the other among us.� When we look around us, at the killing of Muslims in Gujarat, the burning of Hindu families in Bangladesh, hate crimes and racial profiling here in the US, and the ongoing war on Iraq and Afghanistan�we see ourselves and our communities as both the perpetrators and the victims of violence against the other.�� We encourage art that touches on the themes addressed in our work in the past year:
q������ building bridges of understanding to counter the hatred of communalism;
q������ combating detention, deportation and the loss of civil rights here in the US;
q������ understanding the dynamics of globalization and responding through global action; and
q������ speaking out about and against continuing US Militarism.�
As always we want work that speaks to all of the faces, experiences and the perspectives of the South Asian Diaspora.��
Our venue includes space for video screenings, visual art, and installation work in addition to our evening of spoken word and musical performances by South Asian artists. We envision using art in this space as a powerful means of social commentary that allows us to empower and transform in ways ordinarily impossible through other mediums. Please complete and mail the attached call for entry or visit the VOR website at www.sapacchicago.org to complete an on-line entry.
Thank you,
�SAPAC Chicago
