    The Beehive Collective Returns to Lincoln! At UNL's Nebraska Union

    Do you hear that buzz?
    We're excited to announce that the Beehive Design Collective is returning to Lincoln! They are "a wildly motivated, all-volunteer, activist arts collective dedicated to 'cross-pollinating the grassroots' by creating collaborative, anti-copyright images for use as educational and organizing tools. We work as word-to-image translators of complex global stories, shared with us through conversations with affected communities." The Bees are on a national tour this summer to "REVIVE the HIVE!"
    For more information about the Bees, we encourage you to visit their website at:
    https://beehivecollective.org/
    The Bees will be presenting on two of their mural projects called "The True Cost of Coal" and "Mesoamérica Resiste." The former is about the ecological devastation wrought by coal mining in Appalachia, while the latter is about the effects of globalization in Latin America. Both pieces also strongly reflect the power of local, grassroots resistance to these forces.
    This event will be held at the Nebraska Union (1400 R St.) on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's City Campus. We will be in the Centennial Room on the second floor. This event is free and open to the public.
    This event is co-hosted by The Black Cat House and Common Root Mutual Aid Center. We are also grateful for the assistance of our allies on campus for helping us to book this room.

    The Black Cat House will be hosting an "open house" in our yard as part of Lincoln TRUE (Tour for Rewilding Urban Environments). We will be out here on Sunday afternoon from 1-6 PM. We hope you'll come and see our native plants, raised garden beds, rainwater collection system, and more. Come and harvest some herbs from our herb spiral, or pick up a "Compost the Rich!" sticker from our propaganda table on the porch. As always, this event is free and open to the public.
    Here's what Lincoln TRUE shared to their own Facebook event page:
    "Do you love nature? So do we! So we're calling all nature lovers to attend the Lincoln Tour for Rewilding Urban Environments on September 29th: Featuring multiple growing spaces to visit and experience on a tour around Lincoln. Follow our map bit.ly/LTRUE2024 on a tour of 12 pollinator gardens along with guided tours of Hawley Hamlet and Wilderness Park (Pioneers Blvd Entrance). There are free plants and live music at multiple locations along the tour, with fun activities and a broad learning experience that's free and open to the public."
