Monster Mouse is holding a life drawing session with an ominous glitch. A two hour life drawing session with a Post Apocalyptic theme.
Come sharpen your skills of observation and make art a missed man made destruction.

There will be comfy couches, loud music and the model will engage with the themed projections and props.

Bring your chosen mark making tools along with lots of paper. There will be some extra pens and pencils in case you need them. Don’t worry if you’re not a confident drawer, what better way to practice!?

This is our first Post Apocalyptic Life Drawing night and who knows it may be our last…

ABOUT THE GIG: It’s on again!! A bunch of awesome bands, DJs & volunteer staff have decided to get behind an extremely worthy cause and provide you with a fifth and final evening of “Music of Fire” at the fabulous community- oriented venue, The Red Rattler. And this time we are excited to welcome special guest musicians Julio Cienfuegos with his band & Justo Diaz, playing us tunes from The North of Mexico and South America. What a fitting honour! 🙂

Due to an overwhelmingly positive response from both the people of Sydney and the Zapatista communities in Mexico, we are now hosting Musica de Fuego V. Musica De Fuego is a Sydney based music collective aiming to raise funds and awareness for the indigenous Zaptista struggle in Chiapas. A group of us traveled to Mexico in the summer of 2012 and spent time working and connecting with the Zapatista people. They are overwhelmed and inspired by the support Musica has brought them, and gave us words of gratitude and solidarity which we passed on at Musica III. Some of us will return to Chiapas this December to meet again with our compas in Chiapas and we hope, apart from our willingness to work the land with them, that we can bring the greatest show of support from the people of Sydney yet.

OUR FUNDRAISING EFFORTS: WE have raised approximately $7000 over four gigs so far, all of which has been directly given to the Zapatista communities in Resistance. Our first gig, in July 2011, raised enough money to rebuild a community pharmacy that had burned down. Our second gig in December 2011 enabled us to provide an expensive boot-making machine for autonomous industry so that the Zapatistas can continue to work and function with no assistance from their “bad government”. Our third gig, which was held in June 2012, sent over $2000 to the jungle community we worked in early that year, to help various agricultural and educational projects in the area. Musica IV was sent to a Jungle community that needed to supply it’s “House of Health” and community school with equipment.We have negotiated the funding of these projects with the Zapatistas through the support of our friends at “Schools for Chiapas”. These projects exist in four separate municipalities, and there are five municipalities in total.

This final gig will raise funds to support the fifth municipality in the state of Chiapas, and we are currently in dialogue with “Schools for Chiapas” about which project the Zapatistas need the most urgent help with. We will have further information prior to the gig. After hosting Five “Musicas” we will have assisted all five municipalities in the Zapatista territories to establish or maintain autonomy in health, education and industry.We will have information displayed so you can see what our (YOUR) efforts have achieved.

This important connection between the Zapatistas and the Sydney music scene is something we hope to foster for some time. Even though this is the last Musica as we know it, we plan to host more fund raising events sometime in the future. We also hope to forge some kind of connection with our own indigenous communities and the Zapatistas, the more we learn about their struggle first hand.

ABOUT THE ZAPATISTAS:
These inspirational people, with their strength, solidarity and dignity, have survived serious human rights injustices for decades. Formed predominantly by indigenous peasant farmers, the Zapatistas, on January 1st 1994, demanded an end to the violent repression they had suffered and forced a corrupt government to recognise them as citizens with rights to their own land.

The government betrayed them, however, after agreeing to enshrine indigenous rights into the Mexican constitution and then failing to follow through. So the Zapatistas put into practice alternative forms of government, social and economic self-management where wealth and power are distributed fairly. They get no assistance whatsoever from the Mexican Government. Instead, they are persecuted for their beliefs and live under constant threat of attack, torture, imprisonment and even and murder by government backed paramilitaries whom they continue to resist in a peaceful manner.

Come to the Rattler for a mad night of music on the 22nd December and let the dignified people of Chiapas know that we continue to support their struggle!

RED RATTLER FUNDRAISER at THE RAT
6 Faversham St, Marrickville

For the first time ever, Honi Soit is bringing you HONI SOIRÉE: a night of debauchery and redemption, music and (probably some) silence. In simpler terms, it’ll be a showcase of the best in independent, local music as well as up-and-coming student talent.

All proceeds from the SOIRÉE will go back to the Red Rattler, one of the coolest community arts spaces in the inner west. While the Rat has technically already been “saved”, we think they deserve all the love and money we can afford to give them.

So, come dance with us! You’ll be helping keep the local arts and culture scene alive with every hip thrust and head nod. But it’s not like you needed a reason to party, right?
