Zombie Popcorn's video: CompArte 2: The Emiliano Zapata Community Festival LIVE

CompArte 2: The Emiliano Zapata Community Festival live in Oakland, CA http://zombie-popcorn.com On Aug. 12, 2017 the Chiapas Support Committee Oakland hosted the CompArt 2: The Emiliano Zapata Community Festival. I was honored to be able to live stream this event for the Chiapas Support Committee and to show my support for the Zapatistas. CompArte is a play on the Spanish words compartir (to share) and arte (art), so it’s a festival of sharing art in all it’s forms: music, dance, poetry, painting, drawing, sculpture, etcetera, to dream a different world where we all fit. CompArte is also an international festival, first convened by Zapatista communties in 2016 to celebrate art and culture as a catalyst for social change, in rebellion against capitalism and all its walls of exploitation and oppression: racism, sexism, classism, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia, english-only mentalities. Zapatista supporters created CompArte Festivals all over Mexico and in other countries in 2016. The Chiapas Support Committee held a CompArte Festival in Oakland, too. The day was full of workshops, food, music, poetry, and dancing. This stream is only the evening program which was a Concert for Humanity, Against capitalism, war & racism, featuring: DíaPaSon, son jarocho music & dance Black Fighting Formations: Mogauwane Mahloele & Marshall Trammell, South African and African American percussinists perform warrior ethos ritual. uPhakamile uMaDhlamini, poet Muteado Silencio, spoken word Naima Shalhoub+Band Arnoldo García, poet PoesíaMaríaArte, spoken word Los Nadies, dance from below
