The expression "Not in Our Name" will forever ring in my ears. In 2002 Marco and I were living in Brussels. We were there on a type of residency and staying for free at an old friend's, she was in France working on a film. As her father was a film producer he often had directors and editors living above us in his spare pad. At the time of our visit a team was editing a film for the "Not in Our Name" Project. Over and over again we heard this slogan at all hours of the night. During the course of time a movement I supported was becoming one I was wanting to gag. "Not in Our Name" damn right but please not at 2 am! Not in my freakin' ears! Such is the life of free accommodations. The whole thing only lasted for a month. Now when I read the slogan I have a flashback and hear the chanting. I don't feel queasy remembering the sleepless nights I feel queasy by the fact we can and still chant this slogan with good reason. I don't mind paying tax but I do mind how my money is being spent in the USA. You can't please em' all. Bread and Puppet, one hell of a theater company, check them out. Hand painted color on print.
