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


    September 11, 2024

    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:

    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.
