David from THINK AGAIN here. Thanks to everyone who has contacted us regarding possible sites for our mobile projection project entitled THE NAFTA EFFECT, which rolls out on October 7th. If you're in LA and there is a large blank, windowless building near you - a parking garage or a other such stucco swatch of wall - post it to the blog and we'll consider adding it to our route map (in progress). Also, check out our website www.saltinthewound.org as we'll be posting video as soon as we get it.
This project attempts to link ideas of fair trade to immigration policy - the hunt for cheap labor on the one hand coupled with xenophobic scapegoating and harassment of immigrant labor. The premise: powerful economies welcome the flow of poor, cheap, disenfrachized labor as long as migrants don't not achieve full protection under the law as citizens.
More soon.
Fair Trade is a program of Outpost for Contemporary Art.
