-------------------------- -----------------------------------------------
Join us on Friday July 23rd to celebrate the transformative power of art in the face of overwhelming adversity.

Moved by events over the last year in Honduras, Dan Archer and Nikil Saval created a graphic novel that captures both the horrors and hopes of the Honduran people as they awake from their false democracy.

The comic originally appeared online in the Huffington Post and Alternet in three parts between October 2009 and January 2010. The first US print run occurred in May.

One goal is to raise funds so that it can be printed in Honduras and used there as an alternative political education tool.

Art has been a key force for the pro-democracy opposition movement, and what better place than BloomBars whose vision is to "serve as a training ground for a new generation of change agents who believe in the transformational power of art to affect positive growth in the community" to help keep the ball rolling?

$10-25 Suggested donation - Gets you your very own copy of the graphic novel, printed in both Spanish and English!

There will be live music, drinks, and a special video appearance by Dan Archer.
