Plexus International 2005
Erosions and Renaissance Show Act 4 Part 1, New York

On Saturday, December 10, 2005, Human Rights Day, Plexus International will present “Erosions and Renaissance, Act IV,” as a recall of the1984 In Order to Survive Lower East Side community event, to raise attention on the erosion of human rights. This is the fourth in a series of community-based performances staged around the world to warn of the increasing “erosions” underway in our living Earth--from the erosion of the planet’s biodiversity, soils and atmosphere to the erosion of local knowledge, cultural diversity, human rights, freedom and peace. The Plexus event at St. Mark’s Church will highlight the vital role of the artist in the community as a keeper of the living archive to balance the cultural blackout of our current times.  It is dedicated to the many artists and luminaries of the Lower East Side who have passed away, including Yuri Kapralov bohemian counterculture author from the Seven Loaves art collective,  Miguel Pinero, co-founder of the Nuyrican Poets Cafè, Don Cherry world music explorer, Sarah Farley homesteading pioneer , as well as Bruce Richard Nugent of Harlem, who created the black literary quarterly Fire!! It is also a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity.
