We created a political art float with friends and neighbors for the 2017 Mill Valley Memorial Day Parade.
The Bamboodu Theater is a puppet show on wheels, starring Lady Liberty and Mr. Trump. Each time Trump says something wrong, Liberty hits him on his thick, bobbing head. A news ticker displays some of Mr. Trump’s latest fake news tweets.
Parade watchers will be invited to sing along the inspiring poem on liberty: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses …”
We built this float in my front yard with a wonderful team at the Mill Valley Community Action Network (MVCAN), a local political group which I recently joined to resist the conservative takeover of our country. Through this interactive art experience, we hope to engage people of all ages to get engaged in political action.
In this final session, we rehearsed our Bamboodu Theater performance and practiced our sing-along. We then loaded the float in a van, to transport it to the parade on Monday, May 29, 2017.
I’m very grateful to all our friends and neighbors helped us bring this project to life: Danny Altman, Laura Boles, Phyllis Florin, David Glad, Peter Graumann, Edward Janne, Suz Lipman, Charlene Lundgren, Jean Marie Murphy and Mark Petrakis and Martha Roush, to name but a few.
Join your neighbors to keep democracy alive!

This is from August, 1954, showing a float from a procession. Others in this collection of photographs tell which organisation provided the performers, but this one, alas, does not.
I am creating an art float with friends and neighbors for this year’s Mill Valley Memorial Day Parade.
Our float for this parade features the Bamboodu Theater, a mobile puppet stage I created for civic events and art shows. Our first show stars Lady Liberty and Mr. Trump. As music plays, a Mr. Trump’s recent tweets and alternative facts appear on a news ticker. Each time Trump says something wrong, Liberty hits him on his thick, bobbing head.
As we march, we will invite parade watchers to sing along the inspiring poem by Emma Lazarus about the Statue of Liberty (“Give me your tired, your poor …”). Through this interactive art experience, we hope to engage people of all ages to change the world through civic action.

Always ready for a religious procession. In Trincomalee I had come across a couple of amazing processions, awesome klezmer-like music (I think klezmer has its roots in India), fire, coconuts, offerings, ashes, smoke, and things left outside the houses....giant leaves with rice on them...also in front of a tea store the owner gave out juice boxes and at another procession, ladies bringing out pitchers of a drink they were pouring for float participants and onlookers.
Of course I had my camera with me. But ya know what? I just felt kinda funny taking pictures of a religious procession....it seemed beyond rude to me, kind of disgusting. I saw other people doing it and I suppose it didn't matter but I wanted to just be, not necessarily participate, but just be and not take any picture.
Well it paid off in a way. A lady poured some of the drink for a kid who ran over to me and told me to drink it. By now the usual laughter all around. I knew it was ok so I drank it down. What do you think it was? Tasted like a tea drink sweetened or maybe with fruit juice added...I couldn't tell...but in it were pieces of onion. Ashok is coming over tonight. I have to ask him what that was!
The Imperial Order of Odd Fellows float, one of Nelson's older City lodges. The Kootenay Lodge was incorporated on November 24th, 1919. The Odd Fellows are an international fraternity dating back to the 1700s, and are still active today.
Recently I took a float plane get an aerial view of the Boundary Waters between Minnesota and Ontario. It was an awesome sight. I think this was actually Ontario because in Minnesota the plane has to fly higher.
