DON’T hold
the SUGAR

The snow cone stand in my hometown finally opened this weekend.  And with my newly-found distrust of aspartame, I am looking forward to a summer of sugar-laden treats from pomegranate to chocolate snow cones.  This next Call wants your view on a whole different kind of snow.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Manipulated Image to participate in a video art show, Don’t Eat The Yellow Snow, for art:screen fest 2012 in Örbero, Sweden.  There is no entry fee, so don’t miss this opportunity!

“Don’t Eat The Yellow Snow – The powers that control societies such as corporations, financial or religious institutions and the mainstream media, endorse selective blindness intended to stifle our natural sense of compassion and justice as social beings. 

“These entities use tradition and synthesized truths to undermine those who question the established order. They capitalize on our natural desire for convenience and drive for self-preservation. We tend to look away, unless faced with personal calamity or transgression that affects immediate family, our allies, tribe, nation, or us.   But there are exceptions….” –from the Prospectus for Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow
