all- radical caroling time is here, and its on!
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 22nd, 2:00-4:00 p.m. @ BOSTON
COMMON, Park Street Station – RAIN or SHINE –
please take your feet to the street and join us as we
raise our voices to raise awareness around issues of social un-justice, economic
exploitation, political oppression, environmental degradation, and general
havoc-reeking practices known as “the holidays” and capitalism.
our playlist focuses on questioning capitalist and holiday
norms practices. the cheatsheet for the street songbook with all of the lyrics,
and the flyer, are available from our event page (you can join there or email me
directly) : https://www.facebook.com/events/1402573919983168/?source=1
for those new to radical caroling and street art actions:
what happens?
this is an open event, anyone may join us at anytime. we
will be singing, signing, and playing instruments. there will be
homemade percussion for kids, songbooks to share, lyrics written on large poster
boards and infosheet handouts (explaining our message and providing alternative
practices) for those passing by who are interested.
why bother?
many folks simply don’t know the whole story, bringing
knowledge to the streets, in the form of satirical (and hopefully enjoyable)
art, can get folks to stop, listen, contemplate a message, it can alter how and
what they see, and possibly reconsider the choices they make. i
remember not knowing i HAD a choice, actually didn’t even realize
i was actively MAKING a choice…until folks educated me. so
basically we learn, we share, we learn, we share, and we attempt to create
change. and we have fun.
this is a kid friendly event and we aim to be accessible
to ALL who wish to participate. so if you have the knowledge to spin, the voice
to raise, the freedom to join and the time to spare to spread the good word of
building a more fair and just world for all-then lend your voice and SING!
in solidarity- karan
