🗒️🗣️ INTERVIEW | Heyerde López: ‘Our Challenge Is Staying True as a Left-Wing Organization’
In the latest VA interview, activist Heyerde López reflects on the structural challenges facing grassroots organizing in Venezuela, pointing to the difficulty of sustaining long-term projects while maintaining political coherence. López, a member of "Fundación Nativa Crea" in Guarenas, frames this as a central tension: “The main challenge is staying true to our identity as a left-wing organization,” he says, highlighting mounting economic pressures and contradictions in the relationship between popular power initiatives and state institutions.
US sanctions and restrictions on wheat imports forced the closure of the group’s community bakery and café, key nodes in its local production network. The experience underscores how external constraints continue to impact grassroots economic initiatives. The collective is now working to relaunch these projects, with an emphasis on rebuilding communal forms of production and strengthening local productive capacity.
Despite these setbacks, "Fundación Nativa Crea" remains embedded in broader networks of communes and social movements, while expanding its work in political education, communications, and grassroots production.

Под впечатлением от музея Востока. Каюсь, была там впервые
Очень зашло искусство Ирана. Вернусь на этих выходных, чтобы сразу пойти в этот зал так как больше после двух часов в музее внимание рассеивается, а прекрасного и удивительного бесконечно много 🥰 очень рекомендую! Каждый найдет там азиатскую страну по своему вкусу

Стефани Рью (Stephanie Rew) - современная шотландская художница - одна из моих самых любимых авторов фигуративной живописи. Она пишет гипнотизирующие совершенно женские портреты, где каждая изображенная женщина - древняя богиня или средневековая королева. Рью очень любит использовать золото в своих работах, но пишет так, что золото не утежеляет, а наоборот придает запредельную атмосферу и дает “воздух”.
