Pink Bloque: Anti-War Documents, TRT 6:39 2004
By The Pink Bloque, Video produced by Dara Greenwald and Blithe Riley
This video is an excerpt of a continually building, collaboratively
edited (w/Blithe Riley) document of the actions of the Pink Bloque,
a Chicago- based feminist street dance troupe founded in early 2002
as a creative response to the depressing atmosphere of leftist activism
in post-911 America. The Pink Bloque attempted to reclaim what remains
of public space in an increasingly privatized world to engage audiences
in dialogues about current political situations. An archive about our
project is at www.pinkbloque.org Followed by Pink Bloque Unjustified

and thanks.
