Slingshot Hip Hop

 Slingshot Hip Hop is Jackie Salloum's 2008 documentary about the Palestinian hip hop movement.  It "braids together the stories of young Palestinians living in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank as they discover Hip Hop and employ it as a tool to surmount divisions imposed by occupation and poverty. From internal checkpoints and Separation Walls to gender norms and generational differences, this is the story of young people crossing the borders that separate them." (youtube)  Watch the trailer here.

Depression Era Style

Vintage sailor's shirt made from flour sacks with Spanish advertisements.  Circa 1930's-1940's.  Awesome.

Yes, it's that time again.  Take advantage of early shopping and grab up some sweet zipper pouches made from natural and reclaimed fabrics (pictured above, $12.00 each).  Fill them with candy, homemade lip balm, or whatever your heart desires for a fun gift.
