THE PRICE OF OLIVES : A WORKSHOP
SATURDAY JUNE 21/2003 - A SPACE GALLERY, TORONTO

What does it take to grow olives in Occupied Palestine? What does it take to get them to the markets? What does it take to bring them here? We invite you to walk with us beyond the checkpoints, over the roadblocks, through the dirt roads and past the bulldozers for some up close encounters with Palestinian growers under the olive trees under curfew. With your participation and through a fair trade of stories and facts, ideas and labour, our goal is to build the Olive Fair installation, our contribution to the WILL exhibit. We bring the olives and olive products, produced in Palestine and sent to us from Jaffa by Sindyanna, a fair trade company. You bring your energy and enthusiasm. Together, we'll shape the installation in the gallery and on the internet, and explore what it takes to build an accountable politics of solidarity.
