Featuring first-person accounts and footage from more than forty cameras on the streets, “Terrorizing Dissent” focuses on the story of dissent suppressed.

Despite ongoing police harassment, NYC’s Glass Bead Collective and Twin Cities Indymedia have spent the weeks since the Republican National Convention producing a 90-minute documentary about the fall of Saint Paul. The new film will be made available for free on the internet and includes exclusive footage of the criminalization of dissent, interviews organizers now charged as terrorists under the Minnesota PATRIOT Act, and investigates who ordered the violence in St. Paulice. You won’t want to miss it!

Bethel University’s Olson Gallery pleased to present new works by Bethel University Associate Professor of Art Jeff Wetzig.

Jeff Wetzig’s collection of prints transform their traditional roots in Japanese woodblock prints to explore the medium as a means of installation. He investigates the idea of boundaries and borders as they relate to themes such as mass communication, repetition, and fear. The delicate nature of line and color in his woodblock prints are an interesting contrast to their subject matter.
