That "memoryAndJustice.org" site looks like an excellent project. It brings to mind so many issues.. not just the primary justice-issue that speaks to those treated wrong, but also the touchy-issues…

h3llo again--- i think i'm spending too much time online tonight in order to avoid school projects/work, whew, but this cloud-nature-art video [of the starling birds migrating / flying] is really good; I've been hoping to do more artwork that involv…
h3llo i just read some of Greg Madison's work from one of ur links (from his piece on Existential Migration...) and it seems really good to me so far, thanx, rob =][=
well, this is an amazingly good piece of car paint-art;; is "Maat El Kalam" a city or region?...and btw, is the van (car) painted by you or ur artists friends?
I see "A R " on the right by the photo but I guess that's not your initials--can u transl…
h3llo Ari, good to see some design / graphics oriented news; I've seen alot of Adham's photos/images on his profile here, i might have chatted w- him about some of the Indian monuments, etc... but I didn't know he did graphic design work-- Did you a…

h3y that's another great image---the colors work really well;; also the minimal design of the dress' color-section =][=
h3llo Alicia, that's an excellent image;;
did u design the "treads" or "string-webbing" elements? Very g00d use of color...also the juxtaposition of minimal shapes with those minute-thread-webs makes for great balance =][=

- How I heard about fD and why I'm here
- I heard about fD from the NEW TACTICS human rights org, and this quote seems to describe me as well as it described others, "connect with other people doing human rights work."
A simple idea but somewhat difficult through the web just as the web is also empowering---since it can be so daunting as far as keeping up with changes in many human rights org's that I'm interested in while at the same time, keeping in touch with friends, family, etc. Thus I'm hoping to learn ways to manage my online-rights-connections & ideas in ways that promote more fluid, comfortable dialogue as opposed to the usual "typing, clicking & filling-out emails & petitions."

Moen Haider Jwalamukhi said… - hi, art and activism these are very civilised phenomenas especially now a days. but without tasting the holy fruit of humiliation and torture our art is worthless . more than 400million people of our globe are being humiliated as human beings .they are ugly, malnutrited, impoverished, hungry, illiterate and homeless. we cannot paint them as beautiful madonnas, lets humiliate ourselves again and again to save and to liberate humanity. i think humiliation is the first step towards liberation. art and activism without humiliation is just like body without soul, ot mind without heart.
