Hella Solutions blog: "Document. Share. Inspire."

Before I get too far into the day-to-day of my work it’s probably relevant to explain my project a little more than I have thus far (which is almost zilch). From my web site;

The vision of our planet as an autonomous globe controlled only by an “invisible hand” sounds like a theme from any number of 20th century science-fiction films. What becomes the scariest realization is, now living in the 21st century, the inhabitants of Earth find themselves in the midst of a movement approximating this exact fantasy – we hear its name, “corporate globalization.” Through the medium of audio recording, SisterLove: The Local and the Global broadcasts the voices and actions of a group of individuals and their organization that is creating and acting out alternative visions in opposition to this parasitic, corporate reality. Using sounds gathered from within these communities – music, personal stories, life celebrations, organizing models, interviews with central architects, and various natural sounds – SisterLove: The Local and the Global lays bare the callousness of market rule through the display of positive visions for global living.

As I travel to Atlanta, Georgia and to Mpumalanga, South Africa I will be seeking an answer to the central question: How do localized organizations, in the face of globalization and neo-liberalism, move beyond insular and service model structures to effectively integrate regional and global organizing?

I have worked to make this as clear as possible but I am always open to constructive comments that might help to make it better.
