VOZ Workers' Rights Education Project Presents:
From Corner To Center: Portland's Day Labor Art Show
6:30pm
Thursday February 5th, 2009
The Portland Day Labor Hire Site
240 NE MLK Jr. Blvd
From Corner To Center is more than an art show: it is a window into
Portland's day labor community. Each morning, day laborers gather at
the hire site to organize and seek work. Join us as we transform the
walls of the hire site into the walls of a gallery. Complete with
photography, paintings, drawings and ceramics, this art show is
entirely made by the workers who come to the site. Pieces from the show
include candid portraits of life spent waiting for jobs, painted
cityscapes, and interpretations of dreams and cultural longing. Enjoy
music and dancing, and grab a cup of Mexican hot chocolate and
traditional sweet bread.

Art Exhibit: Helmets to Hardhats
Sponsored by VETERANS FOR PEACE CHAPTER 72
November 11th Veterans Day/Armistice Day
Armistice Day is the anniversary of the end of World War I, on November 11, 1918.
Veterans For Peace the Sean Slattery Chapter 72 will celebrate Armistice Day and Host "Helmets to Hardhats" in solidarity with Labor History Month. Most soldiers come from working class families, kids sent off to the slaughter of war and those who survive return to the world of work and working class struggles. Combat Veterans have a different critique of political hacks and their blood lust for war and empire. They know the cost of killing in their souls, the price families pay for loved ones lost, maimed and deranged. They have little patience for liars and thieves that skew history in favor robber barons, and arms manufactures that steal elections, and bribe officials while destroying our schools, jobs, social services and especially our democracy.
The day will start with a respectful ceremony beginning at 10:00 am at the PSU Park Blocks Stage and end with Church Bell Ringing around 11:00 am.
Helmets to Hardhats Art exhibit will be on display in Smith Memorial Student Union Room SMU 101 from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm
Plus two supporting off campus drama productions -

Sharing War Secrets: Oregon Veterans redeem memories from darkness
SHARING WAR SECRETS
Oregon Veterans redeem memories from darkness
Sharing War Secrets is a staged reading of dramatic pieces written by veterans of Vietnam and the first Gulf War living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, plus dramatized poetry.
"Recovery from PTSD takes us along a road lined with the gamut of emotion from grief and anger to hope and love,” says Sean Lewis, an Army veteran from the first Gulf War and author, who is also acting in this production. “Sharing our stories creates community. Retelling these stories now helps our community support and welcome veterans coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan."
WHEN Sundays: November 4 and 11, 7 pm; November 11, Veterans Day, 2 pm matinee Mondays: November 5 and 12, 7 pm
