Join us at our next event and get an excellent and stunning insight into the coal industry and how direct action can fight the injustices it's causing.
DATE - Thursday 10th Feb, 2011.
TIME - 7.30pm (bar after the presentation).
LOCATION - London Action Resource Centre - 62 Fieldgate Street, Whitechapel, London, E1 1ES.

The Beehive Design Collective (part of the Rising Tide North America Collective) create portable murals of collaboratively produced illustrations with an amazingly engaging central narrative.

'The True Cost of Coal' is a recently completed project by the Beehive Collective, learn how the art work is created by the collective and how they use their posters to run community workshop and for storytelling. The True Cost of Coal poster they have produced is quite staggering - check it out on their website.

'The True Cost of Coal' will take you on an interactive visual tour of the connections between Coal Mining, Climate Change, the Ever Expanding Capitalist Economy, and the Struggle for Justice in Appalachia, North America and throughout the world.

“Their visually stunning, large scale Black + White graphics depict social justice and raising ecological consciousness in a way that is never boring”.
