UPRISING!
UPRISING!
is a community kite-making project that invites participants
to design and build their own kites with a message they
wish to communicate from up high. This contemporary twist
on the ancient practice of aeromancy (divining messages
from the sky) encourages people to rise above the dark
clouds hovering overhead by unleashing their own messages
upon the heavens. This aerial display will be a visible
demonstration of democracy and a multitude of voices in
these dark times. In addition, participants will be invited
to show their kites as part of an upcoming exhibition.
UPRISING!
is presented by the Center for Tactical Magic in collaboration
with Eva Strohmeier as part of the "Detours"
exhibition at the Huntington Beach Art Center, March 12
through April 10 (see address below). Also featured are
the radical art collective, Finishing School and renegade
roboteers, Survival Research Labs.

participate, you can:
A)

Join us on March 6 at the Huntington Beach Art Center
for an afternoon of kite-making and kite-flying at the
