Location:
Victoria Park main entrance Description:

My name is Juan Diego Castro. I am a member of the student body at UWO and creator of the Coalition to Peaceful Sotuions, a student organization that advocates for a peaceful solution to the Colombian conflict.

Our group is concern ed with the current sociopolitical situation of Colombia, where (warmogering) president Uribe (supported by the Bush adminstraition) has polarised the country by encouraging the full elimination of the FARC guerrila movement, and delegitimizing the new politcal left centre political party. One has to understand that Colombia is a country that has not seen the light of peace since its independence from Spain, and as a consequence its population has grown in a cyclical violent society which turns to murder to solve conflicts.

This film tells of the hardships andstruggles as well as the community and creativity of the Cuban people.They share how they transitioned from highly mechanized agriculture tousing organic farming and urban gardens. It is an unusual look into the Cuban culture during this economic crisis. The film opens with a shorthistory of Peak Oil, a term for the time when world oil production willreach its all-time peak and begin to decline forever. Cuba, the onlycountry that has faced such a crisis, is an example of options and hope.

Jane et al.'s sound is synth and string driven and melodic; her voice is very delicate and pretty.  My slower more melancholy songs should be a nice complement to her stuff (though there will be plenty of Eastern European singalongs).
