Tribunal Rising - art opening & book celebration

The exhibit and accompanying book is about movement building inspired from the 1992 Tribunal in San Francisco to dismantle the legacy of Christopher Columbus and 500 years of genocide. As a retrospective, this book accompanies an exhibit of art works and documents at the Ethnic Studies Library on the UC Berkeley campus to commemorate the 1992 Tribunal as an international call to dismantle the colonial legacy of Christopher Columbus and the quincentennial Myth of Discovery.

By reactivating the legacy of the 1992 Tribunal, this project of Tribunal Rising, claims our sovereign rights as a people to live free from terror in our neighborhoods and around the world. In it, we see the special role of the arts to raise our song, theater, poetry often recited live, and in artworks that live on in posters, magazines and prints as common reminders of our creativity and capacities to create a better world. We bring imagination, the possibility of change, and the advancement of what we know to be true to rejuvenate the energetic cycles of life.
