AMBASSADOR’S NOTE 20

The intensity of production has increased these past days. We have been seeing paintings of landscapes, still life, abstractions and color wheels leaving the Workshop room and finding their way onto the walls of the Internet Corner, the Library and the Newspaper office. Myrna and Maria at the Gramsci Bar have also been contributing to this creative escalation with their hand-made advertising campaign using paper plates to write their daily menu. "Good chaos" is how I can describe the electricity circulating from all corners, whether it is in the manner language is treated on the headlines of the newspaper, the ideas spoken on stage at the daily lecture or the rap improvised at the radio station.
