The Icarus flock swarms on Minneapolis Minnesota, for a delerious Samhain romp through darkness and puppets, visits with old friends, and facilitating a group discussion on radical mental health at the Arise collective bookstore.
Icarus organizers Madigan Shive, Neil Gong, Sascha Scatter, Molly from Asheville, and Will Hall were invited to Virginia Tech to facilitate a dialog on mental health with students and other community members in the wake of the violent tragedy there... Includes photos and audio.
Here are a bunch of art images i made. They are all "anti-copyright" and may be used by anti-authoritarians and others critical of psychiatry and authority in general; any other use, please contact me...
i invite input from folks in general, whether challenging or whatever. I would especially like to have more ideas for art, or ideas on how to make these existing ones even more clear and coherent.
Let's see if this works...(i see no limit on attachments; is there one?)
