Center for Tactical Magic presents UPRISING! sUnDaY, MaRcH 6!!

Rise up with the Center for Tactical Magic this Sunday, March 6 in Huntington Beach from noon onwards!!!

UPRISING! is a community kite-making project that invites participants to design and build their own kites with a message they wish to communicate from up high. This contemporary twist on the ancient practice of aeromancy (divining messages from the sky) encourages people to rise above the dark clouds hovering overhead by unleashing their own messages upon the heavens. This aerial display will be a visible demonstration of democracy and a multitude of voices in these dark times. In addition, participants will be invited to show their kites as part of an upcoming exhibition.

UPRISING! is presented by the Center for Tactical Magic in collaboration with Eva Strohmeier as part of the “Detours” exhibition at the Huntington Beach Art Center, March 12 through April 10 (see address below). Also featured are the radical art collective, Finishing School and renegade roboteers, Survival Research Labs.

To participate, you can:

A)Make a kite of your own design. (FUN!)
B)Download a kite pattern from the Center for Tactical Magic website: http://tinyurl.com/5ptae (also FUN!)
C)Join us on March 6 at the Huntington Beach Art Center for an afternoon of kite-making and kite-flying at the beach. The workshop will be held from noon to 3pm with kite-flying afterwards. All materials will be provided. (REALLY FUN!)
