• 11:30a Union Sq: Artists’ performance/action - On the theme: OUR GRIEF IS NOT A CRY FOR WAR. You are invited to participate. We are meeting at 11:30 in front of Barnes and Noble at the north end of Union Square. Everyone should come dressed in black with a dust mask (if you can bring a dust mask, great, if not, we'll have some extras). We will move together at noon to the south plaza where we will hold placards with the "Our Grief is Not a Cry for War" slogans in silence for one hour. All people who work in the arts are welcome to take part, and help scheme on other projects. We are about creating art which will break through this atmosphere of war, retribution and repression. Come on Saturday, or contact us at rnrarts@hotmail.com
