CompArte: The Art & Culture of Resistance & Solidarity w/EZLN

By Jason Bayless

A Radical Guide had the privilege of attending, filming, and interviewing artists and members of the Chiapas Support Committee at the CompArte: The Art & Culture of Resistance & Solidarity w/EZLN.

The Chiapas Support Committee hosted the CompArte: The Art & Culture of Resistance & Solidarity w/EZLN, which was the fourth annual Emiliano Zapata Community Festival.

CompArte means to share & build a living culture of humanity with musicians, artists & poets from Oakland and S.F. Bay Area. The event was full of music, poetry, and art that expresses anti-capitalist resistance, deep solidarity with indigenous peoples’ struggles for community, land & justice, and a shared space for envisioning an end to the repressive and racist climate we are challenging in the U.S.
