A giant quilt will be made to tell the story of the war on natural resources and resistance in Eastern Europe. This quilt will be given to the people living in Rosia Montana, where a Canadian company (Gabriel Resources) is proposing to build a giant gold mine. The locals are being psychologically bullied into selling their land.Gabriella has worked with the Beehive Design collective and Emma is a wonderful artist who has worked with PaperFire Arts Collective. Both plan to facilitate workshops that will include popular education, storytelling, mural work and more to contribute to the struggle of the people of Rosia Montana to preserve their lives and land.
