"We are multitudes the world over, millions everywhere;
in violent factories, sordid tenements, crowded cities;
in skies and seas and rivers, in lands everywhere;
our number increase as the wide world revolves
and increases arrogance, hunger disease and death."
...If you want to know what we are,
WE ARE REVOLUTION!
In this time where the Revolution has been defined for us by the corporate control over culture, there is an increasing need for the Revolution to counter this and take back the culture into its hands and define itself. Carlos Bulosan's poem "If you want to know what we are," provides a detailed definition of the Revolution that trancends his time onto the present. In commemoration of Carlos Bulosan's 97th birthday, we are calling on everyone to submit an piece of art that is inspired by a line or a part of his poem "If you want to know what we are." It can be of any form - a painting, a song, a poem, a video. It can be from an individual or a collaboration between a group of people. All the works will be gathered together into a website which would show the world what we are - WE ARE REVOLUTION!
For submissions and more information, please email: wearerevolution.bulosan@gmail.com
We will also be launching a website soon. The website is under construction but is now functioning: http://wearerevolution.net/
