Federal Inmate, 8867-147 draws "Outlaw Visions" from the violent Shadow Realm of PrisonCharged with "sabotage of the national defense" and sentenced to five years, inmate 8867-147's "Outlaw Visions" addresses the foremost question that threatens the planet: "Can we humans dwell peacefully and comfortably at home on the living Earth?"
March 7, 2013 - PRLog -- "Outlaw Visions" takes you on a journey that wends through monastic hallways, trial courtrooms, jail and prison cells, and onto campuses to engage with today’s young activists. 8867-147 climbed to the mountaintop, shouted “Peace! Peace!”—and heard society’s judgment: “Criminal!”
To descend into “where everything human is soon absent," there are three sets of “Rung stories” written as first-person accounts which are raw and savage—8867- Back on campus (2006-2008) to promote a play about his Vietnam era anti-war trial, “Peace Crimes: the Minnesota 8 vs. the war,” 8867-147 met young activists who were his visionary grandchildren. These youths mingle the passion and insights of Martin Luther King with John Lennon’s vision and are stirring up a storm of change. These activists seek to create compassionate communities both locally and globally. In 8867-147's day it was just one war—Vietnam. Their concern is whether the human species will insanely kill itself by unleashing an ecological apocalypse and/or destroy the whole planet through creating a nuclear winter. How then to answer: "Is globalization a predatory or a creative movement? Does it seek dominion through conquest or can it become an enabling, humanizing movement?" The answers depend upon the visionary story we tell ourselves about the purpose, meaning, and value of human life, that is, our story of human origin. Globalization presents the challenge to re-imagine and embody a new mythic story of origin, one that replaces the dominant Western biblical story of Genesis. "Outlaw Visions" presents the mythic Earthfolk vision and practices— a fundamentally distinct way of understanding what it means to be human, and how humans as individuals and communities can interact with each other.
