Ports Bishop Future Friends Book by photographer Ports Bishop, documenting two weekend outdoor music festivals from 2004 and 2005 in Connecticut and Ontario, Canada, respectively. People camped, cooked, and ate on site, bands played through out the day and night, and performances were given...They were less like music festivals and more like family reunions. These are people who may be separated by distance but share a commitment to living their music and art, cooperation, collaboration, and sharing. They are inclusive not exclusive. They are political in the way they live their daily lives, not plugging in to the mainstream, building their own mini utopias, rather than being political by the way you vote or by the way you shout out slogans. The name of the first event, Future Friends, which is also the title for this catalogue and exhibition, is in the hope that anyone you see or meet could be a future friend. I hope you can look at these individuals and recognize that they and anyone else you meet have this potential and that utopia is not such a big word. It is just a reality you work for. —Introduction by Hanna Fushihara Aron. Softcover, 60 pages, color, 2006. TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK! PLEASE CONTACT US TO ORDER! |
