This video can be as closely or as distantly related to anything above as you would like:
Shoutout to this being filmed at the Walker Art Center. Double shoutout to Betsy Berens for showing me an awesome site North Shore Sessions where this video came from!
The coffee map is coming along splendidly. I'm currently working through my basemap showing export/import totals for three decades. Trying to figure out where/how fair trade will come into the equation. I'm leaving a lot of room for changes and updates as I go. Taking data as it comes and using it all to figure out which works best. There's so much! Will post some progress photos soon.
EDGE Project is running smoothly but I'm just going to link the blog since I don't want to type what's been said already. I'm constantly in debate over how I want to go back to Lingira. Not debate about wanting to, because I absolutely do, but when and for how long. If I go back, it can't be for simply a month. Time is what will give EDGE the grip on Lingira, and that's what I want to give to EDGE and myself; time. I'm trying to think of what I could do longterm for the community. So far I've worked out some ideas for working on a written history of Lingira Island through monologues and interviews, as well as some historical research in and out of Uganda. I think it would be a great way to work on the community aspect of the area, to have people better understand the land. It's a long ways away, but I'm pretty sure I was thinking about traveling to Uganda around this time a year ago. And considering my days are filled with EDGE, It's no surprise that traveling is something I'm always thinking about.
For those of you who haven't seen the "new" video, here it is in all of its glory. Edited by yours truly, put together and made possible by many.
And for a tacky motivational quote that I can't take any credit for but like quite a bit: I want to give you everything just to see what you would do with it.
Cheers, friends.
