behold @torontoinkcompany’s slow process of turning copper scraps into ink into pigment for CONDUCTOR BLUE, the sept GROUND BRIGHT pigment. ( past post: more on legendary ink-maker @torontoinkcompany…!) it’s a controversial pigment: read @saracaldwell358’s comment below & join in if you like! this paint made from copper scraps rises funds to stop a copper mine that would destroy a sacred place: this month’s 22% of profits from this blue go to Apache Stronghold’s @protectoakflat campaign. if you don’t know about these efforts, watch the stunning videos on the Apache Stronghold site.. they're really stoked to receive this support from us, so if you’re inspired to subscribe for the ‘blue (ya got til 7 am PST 09.12) you can join these powerful efforts. swipe for pics of Chi’chil Biłdagoteel (cka Oat Flats) the crucial, diverse, beautiful, & sacred Apache lands that will be obliterated if the Resolution Copper Mine happens…& the ones who are defending that land. "Apache Stronghold, San Carlos, Arizona, is a nonprofit community org of individuals who come together in unity to battle continued colonization, defend Holy sites & freedom of religion, & are dedicated to building a better community thru neighborhood programs & civic engagement. We work from San Carlos, Arizona connecting Apaches & other Native & non-Native allies from all over the world. Chi’chil Biłdagoteel (also known as Oak Flat) is a sacred site for our Apache people and many other Native Americans. This is a place that has special significance— a place where we pray, collect water & medicinal plants for ceremonies, gather acorns & other foods, & honor those that are buried here. We have never lost our relationship to Chi’chil Biłdagoteel, though the U.S. Government, at times in our history, has imprisoned us on our Reservations & not allowed us to come here.” "They declared war on our religion. We must stand in unity and fight to the very end, for this is a holy war.’ Wendsler Nosie much gratitude for @protectoakflat or defending the land, & to @torontoinkcompany, @catalina.christensen & @protectoakflat londonpigment for this blue. #saveoakflats #makeink #wildpigments #groundbright #pigments
