The Teaching Rebellion Speaking Tour is Coming to Chicago Nov. 5th, 6th and 7th!
“Once you learn to speak, you don’t want to be quiet anymore,” an indigenous community radio activist said. Accompanied by photography and political art, Teaching Rebellion is a compilation of testimonies from longtime organizers, teachers, students, housewives, religious leaders, union members, schoolchildren, indigenous community activists, artists and journalists—and many others who participated in what became the Popular Assembly of the People’s of Oaxaca. This is a chance to listen directly to those invested in and affected by what quickly became one of the most important social uprisings of the 21st century.
The Teaching Rebellion speaking tour aims to foster dialogue among activists from Oaxaca and the U.S. around organizing strategies and movement building utilizing the experience of Oaxacan organizers, who brought together labor, indigenous, women’s, youth, and neighborhood organizations to build a powerful movement for democracy and accountability. Speaker Gustavo Vilchis will join us from Mexico, accompanied by co-facilitator and translator Rachel Wallis to speak about the book, present art and photography from Oaxaca and promote discussion and reflection on the former and current political climate in Oaxaca and its relevance to organizing in their own communities.
Speaker: Gustavo Vilchis, a native of neighboring state of Guerrero arrived in Oaxaca as an independent photographer, seeking to cover the people’s resistance and provide an alternative to the coverage offered by the commercial media. An eyewitness to the 2006 murder of Indymedia Journalist Brad Will by plainclothes Oaxacan police officers, Gustavo is speaking out against recent attempts to charge protesters for Brad’s murder.
Come hear Gustavo’s testimony and see an exhibit of his photographs of the Oaxacan movement
