Online auction for Urewera defendants now

When: This weekend only! (3rd – 5th June, 2011)

Opening night: 4:30pm, Friday June 3rd , followed by screening of “Operation 8: Deep in the Forest” at 8pm, followed by lively discussion.

Viewing: Saturday 4th, Sunday 5th 11am – 8pm

Where: Garrett Street (opposite Glover Park, above People’s Coffee)

Why: There are very many talented people around us who make amazing art. At the same time, 18 people in New Zealand are currently being bankrupted by the cost of fighting questionable charges following the ‘Operation 8’ raids conducted around the country on October 15th, 2007. To address these concerns, more than 50 artists from around New Zealand are exhibiting their work in the hope of raising funds (and awareness) to support the victims of the raids and their families.

Many people in the community have questions about this case, and whether justice is being done. We want them to get together, experience some excellent art, and talk about what’s going on.
