British filmmaker Steven Lake crosses the world to unravel the reasons and consequences for the banishing of the clotheslines in favor of tumble dryers. Corporate America sold us an electric dream: replacing simple centuries-old outdoors line-drying with the electricity hungry dryer, increasing the demand for dirty coal energy across the globe. Now, developing nations are starting their own love affair with an electric utopia exponentially increasing the demands on an already threatened environment. From the laundry-less gardens of sunny California to India\u2019s communal open air Laundromats, <em>Drying for Freedom<\/em> by Steven Lake is a voyage into the new environmental battlefield where money, status and class come first and our planet is a poor second.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dryingforfreedom.com\/\">http:\/\/www.dryingforfreedom.com\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Closing Session: <\/strong>Conversation with Oscar Clemente, Jeff Ondich, and audience members\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><u>Sesi\u00f3n Cuatro<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Presentaci\u00f3n:<\/strong> Oscar Clemente, Distinguished Visitor-in-Residence Director de cine espa\u00f1ol y activista medioambiental; Jeff Ondich, profesor de inform\u00e1tica en Carleton College<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <strong>Tema:<\/strong> Techno-optimismo: \u00bfEstamos ante un problema o una soluci\u00f3n?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <strong>Pel\u00edcula:<\/strong> <em>Secado por la libertad<\/em> (2012), Steven Lake<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">El futuro econ\u00f3mico y medioambiental de nuestro planeta depende de un hilo improbable: el tenderte de ropa. El cineasta brit\u00e1nico Steven Lake recorre el mundo para descubrir las razones y las consecuencias del desvanecimiento de las cuerdas de tender ropa en favor de las secadoras. La Am\u00e9rica corporativa vendi\u00f3 un sue\u00f1o el\u00e9ctrico: reemplazar el secado de ropa al aire libre por el secador el\u00e9ctrico. Este cambio ha aumentado la demanda de energ\u00eda de carb\u00f3n en todo el mundo. La utop\u00eda el\u00e9ctrica aumenta exponencialmente las demandas en un entorno ya amenazado. Desde los jardines sin ropa de la soleada California hasta las lavander\u00edas comunales al aire libre de la India, <em>Drying for Freedom<\/em> de Steven Lake es un viaje por un nuevo campo de batalla medioambiental donde el dinero, el estatus social y diferencia de clase est\u00e1n antes que nuestro planeta.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dryingforfreedom.com\/\">http:\/\/www.dryingforfreedom.com\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Cierre de la sesi\u00f3n:\u00a0<\/strong>Conversaci\u00f3n con Oscar Clemente, Jeff Ondich y las personas de la audiencia.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Other Resources &#8211; Otras Herramientas<\/span><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/21stcenturyartivism.sites.carleton.edu\/en\/poster-to-advertise-screening-afiche-para-promover-la-proyeccion-6\/\"><strong>Poster to Advertise Screening\/Afiche para Promover la Proyecci\u00f3n<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/21stcenturyartivism.sites.carleton.edu\/en\/surveys-encuestas\/\"><strong>Surveys\/Encuesta<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/21stcenturyartivism.sites.carleton.edu\/en\/\">\u2b05\ufe0e Back to Home<\/a><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone can download and edit these materiales for their own use \u2013 Cualquier persona puede bajar y editar los materiales para uso comunitario Session Four Presentation: Oscar Clemente, Video-activist and Environmentalist (Distinguished Visitor in Residence in the Carleton College Spanish Department); Jeff Ondich, Professor of Computer Science at Carleton College Theme: Techno-optimism: Are we facing [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7940,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-container-style":"default","site-container-layout":"default","site-sidebar-layout":"default","disable-article-header":"default","disable-site-header":"default","disable-site-footer":"default","disable-content-area-spacing":"default"},"categories":[9],"tags":[39],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/21stcenturyartivism.sites.carleton.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7854"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/21stcenturyartivism.sites.carleton.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/21stcenturyartivism.sites.carleton.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/21stcenturyartivism.sites.carleton.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/21stcenturyartivism.sites.carleton.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7854"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/21stcenturyartivism.sites.carleton.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7854\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9311,"href":"https:\/\/21stcenturyartivism.sites.carleton.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7854\/revisions\/9311"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/21stcenturyartivism.sites.carleton.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7940"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/21stcenturyartivism.sites.carleton.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/21stcenturyartivism.sites.carleton.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/21stcenturyartivism.sites.carleton.edu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
