Monsanto has done its environmental undermining for over 50 years, they vilified Rachel Carson for fighting DDT in the 60s. And now want to keep modifying the genetics of food, along with other corporate 'takeovers' (of water, air, land). So Robert Ensor's "Yellow Fish" is high lighted in the last Friday Art walk at A SEA Gallery on June 28th.
Come see Robert Ensor's work; it is really strong, unusual and timely. Here is an image for the last Friday Railyard Artwalk show entitled: "Monsanto and other Slights of Hand", June 28th, 5-7 pm at A SEA Gallery 407 Guadalupe St.
Hi Monika.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Costa Rica.
Very interesting topic for painting exhibition.
Monsanto's name is synonymous for many a genetically modified organism. The company also creates pesticides responsible for the deaths of bees, and direct the food industry as mafia. Its scope is amazing, and their influence is such that in the United States are allowed to plant GMO seeds before the Department of Agriculture to declare them safe. Fortunately, not everyone is controlled by Monsanto and only last month the GM crop giant announced it will withdraw from the European market share.
Monsanto announced the German newspaper Tageszeitung, no longer plan to try to obtain licenses for new genetically modified crops or GMO seeds in Western Europe.
Although they are small steps that have been taken across the world, show that there is growing opposition to Monsanto. Continue to show our disagreement remains, to share information and avoid GM products. We must remember that the corporations that control the crop market will not give up easily, and up to us to show we will not tolerate to continue manipulating our food.
Greetings and a big hug
