Panda Punk!
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

In April of 2007 designer Armando Torrealba discovered that the work that he had posted on Flickr has been used by a retail store without permission. Torrealba worked in conjunction with the NGO Derechos Digitales and used his Creative Commons License to claim royalties. He has recently won the case and the money has gone to opening a Linux computer lab at the E-120 “María Saavedra” School, Chillán which will provide access to the 200 students. The lab takes its name and logo after the panda and is run by by the Chilean group LinuxChillán. This monumental trial is the first case of a Creative Commons License to be used in court. This proves that Creative Commons works for artists as a viable alternative.to traditional ways of patenting information.

This is a video that I made with Helena Shimeles from Young Dips. We are going to be facilitating a workshop tomorrow at Cedarbrae Collegiate on the legacy of slavery. Let me know what you think, and I'll let you know how it goes!

Blog Funk? (Add some baile!)

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic



It's been awhile since I've really blogged. I've been so busy as of late with school that I haven't even been going out or going downtown. Also the cold has made my prone to hibernation! Instead of my usual routine I have been bundling up on the couch and watching copious amounts of television. Yet so much has been happening as of late! I feel almost guilty for not blogging it all.

The craziest thing that happened over a month ago now is that I was offered another internship with Netcorps! I'm returning to Central America after a half a year hiatus, going to work with the Consejo de Educación de Adultos de América Latina. I will be moving to Panama City for 4-6 months, so it's time to start blogging bilingually again.

Things have been going amazing at school, as you can see from the Popular Education for Social Change blog. I'm meeting so many amazing people, and I think I'm actually going to miss York when I leave. Last week we had an event to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the Abolition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, and it was very touching. The performance was coordinated by Honor Ford-Smith's Cultural Production seminar and it was amazing to be a part of.

Right now I am up to my eyeballs in end of term work, including work for updating the VIVA! Project website. It is done in Drupal which is new to me so I am being very cautious and researching every step of the way. We are looking to open up our website to be a place very similar to TIG, and I am looking into how to build a searchable database of community arts organizations.

So far I have found a software called CiviCRM which was recommended to me by Phoenix Community Works Enterprises. As you can see the VIVA! site as it stands now is very shabby design wise, but inside is a whole world of functionality just waiting to be released. The CMS as it stands is 99% private, and we are looking to open it up to the public, as well as inviting other community arts and popular education groups and individuals to submit content. Piece of cake, right?
