Stencil Your Own Fuck You to the War on Terror
Posted December 19, 2008 by icky in Events
SCREEN-PRINT OR STENCIL YOUR PERSONALIZED FUCK YOU TO THE GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR
Come by Friday evening for an event by Chris Arendt and Motorcycle Awesome, a collective of individuals dedicated to artistic expression against the war in Iraq.
Arendt is a former National Guard and Prison Guard at Guantanamo Bay. The collective Motorcycle Awesome aims to create a strong active community of civilians, soldiers, and Iraq Veterans Against the War united through artistic expression.
Screenprinting and artwork will be on display, and each person can leave with a hand-screened T-shirt, FREE, choosing from a couple designs.
Friday, Dec. 19, 6-10pm
IGLOO
325 NW 6th Ave #102
"Though Portland tends to shut down in the snow I hope that you might step out into our winter wonderland tomorrow evening to make your way down to Igloo, at 6pm, for an event my friend Chris Arendt is putting together through his collaborative, Motorcycle Awesome.
While still a guard at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba Chris and two other guards started Motorcycle Awesome as an intra-military resistance group. Now back in the real world Chris has re-formed the group as a means to help connect veterans and citizens, and create a site in which both groups can talk and collaboratively create anti-war art together to distribute around the country.
Expect silk-screen, stencils, giant origami bird folding, beer, music, and more. Bring a t-shirt to have screened, and anything else you would like to have emboldened with amazing art work. Along with illustrations by Chris, Pete Yahnke, and Icky of Justseeds have created work to be reproduced, and Josh Berger and Thomas Bradley of Plazm have created some amazing logo stencils for M.A.
Hope to see you tomorrow!
Sam"
