Eben Dunn is an Atlanta-based, mixed-media artist. His work, which combines elements of collage, assemblage and painting, plays with our sense of reading and understanding. Through clever use of wordplay and juxtaposition, Dunn subverts the logics of socialized morality and philosophies by highlighting ironies and inconsistencies in various political, religious and social dogmas. Combining what he calls "mathematical backgrounds", found objects and collaged elements he creates powerful images that unify us all and remind us to be stronger individuals.
Eben began making mixed media art in his teens. While he is more or less a self-taught artist he did receive some classical art training when he studied glass blowing in New Orleans for a few years. Eben has a passion that evokes the rich images he creates in his mixed media pieces. His composition of these bold objects using a more mathematical element creates images that are diametrically opposed yet reflect a meeting point that the artist feels is universal and is a direct reflection of his experiences.

Almost 10 year ago, before anyone knew what a podcast was, I started an all Quilting internet radio show. For just about 10 yrs I recorded 425 shows and interviewed thousands of guests. I partnered with American Patchwork & Quilting magazine to produce and host the show for them.
I had a blast meeting and interviewing so many amazing, interesting, thoughtful, incredible guests.
My last show was on June 24, 2019. You can continue to find me with my Monday night Fireside chat videos at youtube!

Help us to restore the wild forest!
The Caledonian Forest is one of our most important forest ecosystems, providing a home for spectacular wildlife, it is severely fragmented, and in many places consists entirely of old trees.
The first part of our Action Plan is to facilitate the natural regeneration of native trees, by fencing deer out of areas on the periphery of existing remnants of forest. This allows seedlings to grow naturally to maturity again, without being over-grazed. This is the simplest and best method of regenerating the forest, as it involves the minimum of intervention and allows nature to do most of the work. However, this only works for locations where there is an existing seed source nearby, which is not the case in the treeless expanses which make up most of the Highlands today.
The second part of our Action Plan comes into effect in situations where natural regeneration cannot occur, and it involves planting native trees in barren areas where the forest has disappeared. To do this, we collect seed from the nearest surviving trees, to maintain the local genetic variation in the forest.
The resulting seedlings are then planted in a random, non-linear pattern inside fenced exclosures, replicating the natural distribution of the trees. We are working with all of the native trees from the forest, and are paying particular attention to the pioneer species such as birch, rowan and aspen, as they have an important role to play in the succession of the forest as it gets re-established.
The third part of our Action Plan involves the removal of non-native trees, which in some areas have been planted as a commercial crop amongst the old trees of the Caledonian Forest remnants, preventing their regeneration.
Trees that we remove include lodgepole pine, Sitka spruce, western hemlock and larch, either by cutting down or ring-barking, as appropriate. We also remove non-native Rhododendron ponticum, an extremely invasive shrub.
Combining these three strategies, our intention is to re-establish areas, or 'islands', of healthy young forest scattered throughout the barren, deforested glens. As these new trees reach seed-bearing age they will form the nuclei for expanded natural regeneration in the surrounding area. While the trees in these `islands' are growing, it is important to reduce the numbers of deer, so that the forest restoration process can become self-sustaining, without the need for further fences.
The core purpose and vision of Trees for Life is to restore the Caledonian Forest and all its constituent species of flora and fauna to the Scottish Highlands.
By engaging volunteers of all ages and abilities to achieve this, we aim to provide a powerful and educational experience that will promote the work of restoration to wider audiences and lead to increased support for the return of the forest and its species.
By providing a sustainable and positive example of working in cooperation with nature and a demonstration of the techniques of ecological restoration, we aim to inspire similar projects elsewhere in the UK and around the world.
"Trees for Life's tireless efforts over the last two decades have created an expanding home for thousands of important species, breathing new life into one of the world's most magical forest habitats."

p in the valley behind Auxey-Duresses, surrounded by steep cliffs, is Saint-Romain, a village of some 200 inhabitants. The village is divided in two parts – Saint-Romain-le-Haut and Saint-Romain-le-Bas – one on top of the cliffs and one below. There have been settlements here, practically without interruption, for the last 6000 years.
In the middle of the 19th century the population of Saint-Romain was 850. Then came the phylloxera, followed by two world wars, and the population was gradually reduced to a quarter.
Together with Chorey-lès-Beaune Saint-Romain is the only village in the Côte de Beaune without any premier cru or grand cru land. The production is slightly more focused on white wine than on red. In 1947 it received its own appellation. Before that it had been part of the Hautes Côtes de Beaune. The best climats are right east of the village – such as Sous le Château, Sous la Velle and Sous Roche.
Compared with other communes along the Côte d'Or not much of Saint-Romain's total area is under vines. Only around seven percent of the land produces wine. In Aloxe-Corton's case it is 93 percent. This gives room to a number of walking trails that give you the opportunity to discover the numerous archaeological sites in the area. There is also a small museum of pre-history at the mairie.
Right next to the mairie is the restaurant/hotel Les Roches, run by Séverine and Guillaume Crotet. With previous experience from Troisgros in Roanne, l'Espérance in Vézelay and Le Gourmandin in Beaune Guillaume Crotet makes traditional Burgundian food with light modern touch. The tatin d'oreille de cochon à la sauge – tatin of pig's ears with sage sauce – is excellent. The wine list is like a who's-who-in-Saint-Romain, with bottles from every grower in the village. Just don't try to get any recommendations. It's a small village and Les Roches is the only restaurant, so no one is favoured.
Apart from Les Roches the only other commerce in the village is Fabrice Descharmes who comes with his truck from his bakery in Volnay every morning (except Monday). He sells the usual baguettes as well as a small slection of groceries.
Down in Saint Romain-le-Bas is where you find most of the winegrowers. The streets are narrow and in most cases very steep. I have tried going for a morning run here, but I still don't know which was the worst, jogging downhill or uphill. Both directions were exhausting.
Saint Romain-le-Haut is the smaller part of the village. Up here you have a wonderful view over Saint Romain-le-Bas and the cliffs on the opposite side, as well as along the valley towards Auxey-Duresses. At the southern end of the plateau is a large picnic area, shaded by trees. Just leave the car when you arrive at the parking area in Saint Romain-le-Haut. Then there is just a short walk along the vineyards, past the chateau and the church.
In the 11th century a castle was built at the southern tip of the plateau, not far from where you find the picnic area today. At the end of the Middle Ages the church was moved from the grounds of the castle to the heart of Saint Romain-le-Haut. The castle was abandoned and was later used as building material for new houses in Saint Romain-le-Haut.
There are neither grand nor premier crus in Saint-Romain.

Divided Loyalties: Indigenous Communities Struggle Over Dual Residency
The tradition of dual residency—between city and countryside, or across national borders—has long been an important survival strategy, and a source of solidarity, for indigenous communities.

Against Impunity in Bolivia's TIPNIS Conflict: Ex-Defense Minister Speaks Out
Almost a year after resigning as Bolivia's Defense Minister, Cecilia Chacón has broken her silence to question President Evo Morales' appointment of ex-Interior Minister Sacha Llorenti as ambassador to the UN—an act which, she says, signifies impunity for those responsible for the police repression of lowland indigenous marchers last September 25 at Chaparina.
Bolivia: TIPNIS Consulta on Hold, Communities Reject Militarization
Five days past its official deadline and with less than half the communities polled, the consultation process on the Bolivian government's proposed highway through the TIPNIS has ground to a halt amidst continuing controversy and local resistance. Meanwhile, tensions are mounting over the perceived militarization of the TIPNIS.
Women In the Forefront of Bolivia's TIPNIS Conflict
In the ongoing struggle against the Bolivian government's plan to build a highway through the Isiboro Sécure Indigenous Territory and National Park (TIPNIS), lowland indigenous women have been on the front lines.

Pacific Rim Ruling Threatens El Salvador's National Sovereignty
A World Bank tribunal ruled last week that the Pacific Rim Mining Corporation can't sue the government of El Salvador under DR-CAFTA for denying its mining permit—but can proceed under El Salvador's own investment law using the same international tribunal. The case could undermine the growing campaign in El Salvador to legally ban metallic mining.
Bolivia's TIPNIS March in a Changing Political Environment
The second indigenous march in defense of Bolivia's Isiboro-Sécure Indigenous Territory and National Park (TIPNIS) is taking place in a changed political climate, featuring a more aggressive government strategy as well as a multitude of urban conflicts. Whether the success of the first march can be replicated under these conditions remains an open question.
Nationalization, Bolivian Style: Morales Seizes Electric Grid, Boosts Oil Incentives
On May 1, President Evo Morales seized control of Bolivia's electric grid from one Spanish company and inaugurated a $600 million gas processing plant with another. Two weeks earlier, he boosted incentives for crude oil production in Bolivia's "nationalized" oil and gas sector by 300%, demonstrating an increasingly pragmatic, investor-friendly approach to nationalization.

After a week fraught with tension, the second march to protest the Bolivian government's proposed highway through the Isiboro-Sécure Indigenous Territory and National Park (TIPNIS) is set to depart April 27 from the Amazonian department of Beni, headed towards the highland capital of La Paz. The march seeks to build an indigenous-urban alliance in broad defense of indigenous, environmental, and human rights.
New Twist for TIPNIS Road: Bolivia Cancels Highway Contract

TIPNIS Conflict Challenges Bolivian Workers Federation
The general assembly of the Bolivian Workers Central (COB) has declared its support for the upcoming march to defend the Isiboro-Sécure National Park and Indigenous Territory (TIPNIS), contradicting the executive committee's position announced just last week. The dispute highlights how growing internal divisions within the COB have been intensified by the TIPNIS conflict.
Bolivia's TIPNIS Conflict: Letting the People Decide?
Lowland indigenous leaders say that the vast majority of their communities reject the Bolivian government's proposed highway through the Isiboro-Sécure National Park and Indigenous Territory (TIPNIS). So why do these communities oppose the "prior, free, and informed" consultation process to be carried out by the government, which should allow their views to prevail?
Bolivia's TIPNIS Conflict: In Search of an Alternative Highway Route
The new law requiring the Bolivian government to consult with indigenous groups in the Isiboro-Sécure Indigenous Territory and National Park (TIPNIS) about the proposed highway that would bisect the reserve has revived a nagging question: why are alternative routes for the road not being considered?
Bolivian Congress Adopts Controversial TIPNIS Consultation Law
On February 9, Bolivia's Plurinational Assembly passed a controversial new law mandating a consultation process for indigenous communities in the Isiboro-Sécure Indigenous Territory and National Park (TIPNIS), to redetermine the fate of a government-proposed highway that would bisect the reserve. The next chapter of the TIPNIS conflict is likely to be more contentious than ever.

Mass Evictions at Pinheirinho: Favela Residents Confront Brazil's Development Boom
Mass evictions and police violence at Pinheirinho, a favela on the outskirts of São Paolo, illustrate the collateral damage of Brazil's development boom in urban areas, while a conflict plays out between the state and federal government. President Dilma Rousseff's silence on the issue is deafening.
Bolivia's TIPNIS Highway Redux
Less than three months ago, indigenous protesters forced Bolivian president Evo Morales to sign a law cancelling the government's proposed highway through the Isiboro-Sécure Indigenous Territory and National Park (TIPNIS). Now, with a pro-highway counter-march and a legislative strategy to amend or bypass the law, the controversial road project may be on the verge of resurrection.
Bolivia's New Faces of Justice
Fifty-six judges of Bolivia's top courts, elected in a historic but controversial popular vote last October, were sworn in by President Evo Morales on January 3. The new judges, 50% women and 40% indigenous, have changed the face of Bolivian justice, but confront significant challenges of legitimacy and obstacles to implementing judicial reform.
Oil Politics in Ecuador: Saving Yasuní, Without Chevron's Blood Money
Two precedent-setting environmental challenges in Ecuador—an initiative to save the Yasuní rainforest, and a landmark lawsuit against Chevron Oil for dumping billions of gallons of toxic waste—have recently returned to the headlines, with their fates potentially intertwined.

Bolivia: Negotiating 'Untouchability' as the TIPNIS Conflict Continues
This week, Bolivian government officials and lowland indigenous leaders agreed on a new regulation defining the "untouchable" character of the TIPNIS national park and indigenous territory.

A Political Victory for Bolivia
The new "framework agreement" restoring diplomatic ties between Bolivia and the United States represents a significant political achievement for Bolivia, as well as a victory for Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca that could help to strengthen Bolivia's "process of change."
Bolivia: TIPNIS 'Untouchable' But Still Controversial
In October, Bolivian President Evo Morales signed a new law banning construction of the controversial TIPNIS highway. The law is now provoking a new round of conflicts between lowland indigenous groups and the Bolivian government, over what it means for the reserve to be declared an "untouchable" ecological zone.
Bolivia's TIPNIS Road Cancelled But Deeper Conflicts Remain Unresolved
A new law signed by President Evo Morales has officially cancelled the controversial TIPNIS highway, bowing to demands of indigenous protesters after their 360-mile cross-country march. But the fractures in Morales' political base and divisions among Bolivia's social movements triggered by the TIPNIS conflict will be more difficult to resolve.
TIPNIS Marchers, Bolivian Voters Send Wake-Up Call to Evo Morales
This week, two historic events took place in Bolivia: the arrival in La Paz of indigenous marchers protesting the TIPNIS highway, and the country's first-ever popular judicial elections. Both sent a wake-up call to President Evo Morales.

Bolivia: Exploiting the TIPNIS Conflict
A recent protest in Washington, D.C. against the TIPNIS highway in Bolivia serves as a reminder of how conservative forces are exploiting the TIPNIS conflict to undermine President Evo Morales's leftist government. For the most part, though, the anti-highway movement is not so much against the government as it is for a recovery and revitalization of Bolivia's "process of change."
We Are All TIPNIS'
In the wake of Sunday's brutal repression of indigenous marchers against the TIPNIS highway, the past few days have brought renewed popular mobilizations, a few revelations, and more mixed messages from the Bolivian government.
Police Attack on TIPNIS Marchers Roils Bolivia
Sunday's brutal repression by federal police of lowland indigenous marchers protesting the TIPNIS highway has sparked widespread public outrage in Bolivia, while the MAS government's response raises more questions than answers. With conservative opponents of Evo Morales also seeking to exploit the crisis, it's a critical moment for Bolivia's process of change.
Bolivia's TIPNIS Conflict Moves Beyond Regional Borders
While President Evo Morales was busy defending the rights of Mother Earth at the United Nations this week, Bolivia's TIPNIS conflict escalated beyond the regional boundaries of Beni and Cochabamba into the national and international arena.
Bolivia's 9/11: The Pando Massacre and the TIPNIS Conflict
On September 11, Bolivians observed the third anniversary of the Pando massacre, a brutal attack on indigenous peasants and students in the Amazonian lowlands and the most deadly act of political violence in the country since 2003.

Bolivia: A Visit From Lula as TIPNIS Negotiations Falter
Negotiations between the Bolivian government and indigenous groups protesting the proposed TIPNIS highway broke down before getting off the ground this week, while a visit from Brazil's ex-president Lula served as a reminder of the larger geopolitical interests involved. Brazil has a major stake in the road's construction, but it also needs a stable political environment in Bolivia to advance its overall economic agenda.
Bolivia: TIPNIS Marchers Face Accusations and Negotiations
After a week of polarizing rhetoric and escalating conflict, the government and indigenous groups protesting construction of the TIPNIS highway have begun negotiations.

Next Monday, representatives of three indigenous groups and their supporters will begin a 375-mile trek from the Bolivian lowlands to the capital of La Paz, to protest the government's plan to build a highway through their ancestral homeland. The march opens a new chapter in the increasingly conflictive relationship between leftist president Evo Morales and the social movements that brought him to power, and could be another defining moment for the MAS government.
A Vote For Democracy in El Salvador
Last week, after a wave of popular protests, the Salvadoran legislative assembly voted to repeal controversial Decree 743 which required the country's highest judicial body to reach decisions by unanimous consent. The action ended two months of political turmoil, averted a constitutional crisis, and represents a victory for civil society that strengthens the role of democratic institutions in El Salvador.
Peru's Mining Conflicts: Ollanta Humala's Ticking Time Bomb
Left-leaning president Ollanta Humala faces the formidable task of resolving a growing number of mining conflicts, especially in the Puno region where widespread protests shut down the economy last spring. While lame duck president Alan García made numerous concessions to the protesters, the conflicts are far from resolved and could become the defining challenge of the new administration.
El Salvador: Social Programs Bolster Support for Funes Government
San Salvador polls show a sharp drop in President Mauricio Funes's approval ratings over the past several months. But on a recent visit to San José Las Flores in Chalatenango, members of the Cambridge, MA Sister City delegation were impressed by the strong support Funes continues to receive in the countryside, and the visible accomplishments of the government's new initiatives in health, education, agriculture, and infrastructure development.

El Salvador: Funes Opposes Mining, But Legal Ban Uncertain
President Mauricio Funes reaffirmed last week that no mining projects will be permitted in El Salvador during his presidency, and condemned the recent murders of anti-mining activists. But anti-mining organizations want a permanent legal ban on mining activity, and are critical of the government's ongoing study to evaluate the costs and benefits of mining. At a recent meeting with international solidarity activists, Environmental Minister Herman Rosa Chávez offered insight into the government's position.
In Bolivia, Social Protest Is a Way of Life
Over the past 40 years, Bolivia has experienced an average of one "social conflict" per day, according to a recent report that measures episodes of conflict reported in the press. Underlying these statistics is the defining role played by Bolivia's social movements—arguably the most powerful and combative in the hemisphere—in the country's political history.
Brazil Without Poverty? Dilma's Double Discourse
Last week Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff launched an ambitious program to eradicate extreme poverty by 2014. Under the "Brazil Without Poverty" initiative, the government will spend $12.5 billion a year to expand cash transfers and health, education, and job training services for some 16 million people (8.5% of Brazil's population) with incomes of up to $44 per month, who have failed to benefit from Brazil's rapidly expanding economy. The announcement comes as Rousseff continues to be challenged, in the international spotlight, by conflicts that expose the high cost of economic progress borne by Brazil's most impoverished and indigenous communities.
Peru: Anti-Mining Blockades Suspended For Elections
Indigenous anti-mining protesters in southeastern Perú have agreed to temporarily suspend their mobilizations until after the run-off presidential vote scheduled for Sunday, June 5. For the past three weeks, up to 30,000 Aymará and Quechua farmers have organized road blockades that paralyzed commerce at the Perú-Bolivian border and shut down the regional capital city of Puno.

Bolivia: The COB vs. the GOB
The conspicuous absence of the COB, Bolivia's national trade union federation, from the government's official International Workers' Day celebration on May 1 speaks volumes about the growing fissures in the popular coalition that brought President Evo Morales to power. For 12 days in April, the COB led widespread mobilizations to protest the MAS (Movement Towards Socialism) government's proposed...
También La Lluvia: Postscript
The feature film "También La Lluvia" ("Even the Rain") has been giving U.S. movie audiences a taste of the popular struggle against water privatization that took place in Cochabamba, Bolivia in April 2000. Drawing parallels between the exploitation of indigenous people—and their organized resistance—in colonial, neoliberal, and contemporary times, the film was shot on location in Cochabamba and features 3,000 extras drawn from the city's poor southern hillside neighborhoods who were actual protagonists in the Water War. The main indigenous character (played by an actor/ filmmaker from El Alto) is partially modeled on Oscar Olivera, a leader of the water revolt.

bdrmm – " Port "
Posted: October 1, 2021 in MUSIC
It is the Hull and Leeds-based band's first new material since the release of their hugely acclaimed debut album, "Bedroom", which was hailed as a latter-day shoegaze classic when it came out in July 2020 and ended up in several end of year lists, including a respectable number eight in Rough Trade's.
Sounding not unlike the Low of Double Negative or Hey What deconstructing The Temptations' '(I Know) I'm Losing You', 'Port' is a much darker hued song; the distorted drones and beats eventually burst into life with frenzied guitar and howls of anguish.
"I think a lot of the music going forward will be a lot, not darker, but coming from a much deeper place than the first album," explains singer and guitarist Ryan Smith, who points out the influence of Canadian indie-rockers Suuns and Portishead's 'Machine Gun', which half explains the title, which also means 'any port in a storm', when someone will use anything for comfort when in a bad situation.
"'Port' was written at the height of addiction," continues Ryan. "It comes from a place where you know you need to change but feel that you can't. I wish I could come up with some profound meaning for what this track means, or what it is, but I'd just be lying. I was in a difficult place, and this was the end result."
bdrmm have recently returned to the stage, playing to huge crowds at festivals including Latitude and End Of The Road. Following the conclusion of their much-delayed UK tour in November, they will head back into the studio to continue work on their second album.
"I think we're looking to be delving more into soundscapes," hints Ryan. "I am so excited to embrace the next chapter of bdrmm. It's been a fucking tough ride, but one I never want to get off."
