Coffee Shop Organizing Project

For this part of Move! Activate! Remember!, exhibition participants were put in pairs of two and
walked ot a local coffee shop. While sitting at seperate tables, everyone was treated to a cup of coffee. Then each pair was to discuss what they could do right then and there to stop the war in
Vietnam and then to do it. One group yelled at a streetcorner. Another group banged their shoes
at a hospital while also yelling about the urgent need for healthcare reform.
