During the LLAMA Project’s residency in the Yukon (August to October), the LLAMA artists will be facilitating workshops, doing artist talks, meeting with local artists, speaking at public events and collaborating with each other. Some of these events will be planned, some will be more spontaneous.

Jill Irene Freidberg / Mexico and USA / 2007 / 93 min
In the summer of 2006 a broad-based, non-violent, popular uprising exploded in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. This film captures the unprecedented media phenomenon that emerged when tens of thousands of school teachers, housewives, indigenous communities, health workers, farmers, and students took 14 radio stations and TV station into their hands, using them to organize, mobilize, and defend their grassroots struggle for social, cultural, and economic justice.
