San Jose Art & Resistance Summit
April 21-28, 2003

A brazen exploration of the divine unity between art
and justice,
the San Jose Art & Resistance Summit promises seven
glorious days
and nights of dissention, poetry slams, film
screenings,
experimental theater, subversion, multimedia
performances, outdoor
concerts, guerrilla workshops, self-determination,
speaker panels,
visual exhibitions, hip hop shows, and conspiracy!

Formerly known as the Floricanto Festival and
Conference, the new
and improved San Jose Art & Resistance Summit features
over 75
artists. Its goal: to arm attendees with the practical
and
philosophical tools needed to think of and use art as
a tool
(weapon) of resistance.

To this end MACLA, and several invited presenters,
have assembled a
unique and stimulating schedule of guerrilla workshops
and a keynote
panel in conjunction with an art exhibition and
performances and by
local and visiting artists in the areas of film,
theater, spoken
word and music.

For tickets and information on all events call (408)
