Hideous Beast invites you to participate in Uprising! – a project originally produced by artist group The Center For Tactical Magic in collaboration with Eva Strohmeier. On their website, http://www.tacticalmagic.org the project is described as follows:

“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 is a visible demonstration of democracy and a multitude of voices in these dark times.”

Build your own kites with messages for the multitudes!  Materials and instructions will be provided.  Uprising! is presented by Hideous Beast as part of Jennifer Delos Reyes’ project, Satellite Festivals (Be Longing) for Provflux 2008.
