Chilean Artists Abroad for Mapuche Earthquake Victims
Source: INOCA
On Saturday, February 27, 2010 Chile was struck by a devastating earthquake. It registered 8.8 on the Richter scale and caused heavy damage and destruction in many parts of the country. We are members of the Organization of Chilean Artists Abroad, the INOCA Association (www.inoca.net), and we have decided to stage an event to help rebuild our country. This event takes places on Sunday, March 28, 2010, 4:00 pm at the Saal des Rhenania in Cologne, Germany. There will be live acts with music, video installations, performance, poetry readings, an art auction, games for children, and food. We want to collect funds for a social project for the Mapuche people living in the Tirua village in the Bio-Bio region of southern Chile. (more…)
realeyz.tv’s first film partner - Society for Threatened Peoples
realeyz.tv is happy to announce its cooperation with the GfbV, The Society for Threatened Peoples-International. The GfbV is the film partner for our documentary SWITCH OFF! - APAGA Y VÁMONOS . Starting today, you can read regular blog articles with background information, news, and commentary posted by the GfbV.
The Society for Threatened Peoples International (GfbV) is a human rights organization who for the past 40 years, has fought for the rights of threatened peoples, persecuted minorities, and indigenous communities world wide. The GfbV are advisors to the UN, and a participating organization at The Council of Europe. Their work with these institutions, as well as their media campaigns and public relations work, fights persecution, discrimination, and threats on behalf of those who otherwise may go unheard. The Mapuche, the “heroes” of the film “Switch Off!”, have long suffered oppression and displacement. The industrial exploitation of Mapuche territories has been catastrophic for their communities. This documentary bears vivid witness their struggles.
