CLANDESTINE FILIBERTO #art by @vgbnd • Filiberto Ojeda Rios was a Puerto Rican revolutionary, a man who devoted his life to the freedom of Puerto Rico from SU imperialism... He would have been 88 today if the FBI hadn't assassinated him in his home on September 23rd of 2005... September 23rd is a significant date in Puerto Rican history. In 1868 in the mountain town of Lares there was an uprising against Spanish colonial rule that is known as El Grito De Lares (the Cry Of Lares) that ultimately failed but led to the abolition of slavery in Puerto Rico... That day is commemorated every year in Puerto Rico and throughout the diaspora... • On September 23rd, 1990, while on bail, Filiberto cut the electronic tag on his ankle and disappeared... He would often mock the FBI, and US imperialism in general by giving radio interviews, writing articles in newspapers and even doing television interviews while living clandestinely living in Puerto Rico... Filiberto would often note that the island nation of Puerto Rico is only 35 miles wide and 100 miles long - but the powers of US imperialism couldn't find him... The FBI did eventually find Filiberto but only because someone saw Filiberto and told the FBI where he was... • Every year Filiberto would send an audio message to be played on September 23rd at the annual commemoration of El Grito De Lares... While that audio message played, the FBI surrounded Filiberto's home and began a gunfight... Filiberto was shot in his clavicle from a helicopter by an FBI sniper and left to bleed to death... • @dylciapagan a former US-held Puerto Rican political prisoner of war who served 20 years fighting for Puerto Rico's freedom said that the FBI's assassination of Filiberto was an attempt to assassinate the spirit of the Puerto Rican people's desire for freedom... • #FreePuertoRico #FilibertoPresente #FilibertoVive #Machetero #EPB #FALN #filmmaking #guerrillafilmmaking #AVT #AudioVisualTerrorism (at Puerto Rico) https://www.instagram.com/p/COIrneXBvD7/?igshid=jioq2wemsmqw

Posted @withregram • @audiovisualterrorism #Reworked and #rewrote a #script i wrote 11 years ago called PAWNSHOP DREAM a #surreal #metaphor about #PuertoRico's #independence being on a never-ending, ongoing, layaway plan... It was also a metaphor for the sacrifice that US HELD Puerto Rican #PoliticalPrisonerOfWar @dylciapagan who spent 20 years in US prisons (and many others like her) made for the freedom of Puerto Rico... - @vgbnd #3rdCinema #ImperfectCinema #CinemaNovo #IllegalistCinema #AVT #AudioVisualTerrorism #writing #scriptwriting #screenplay #vagabond https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca-XJQGpHGk/?utm_medium=tumblr

#Freedom On #Layaway #art by @vgbnd A conceptually piece based on a film i planned on doing with former US held #PuertoRican #politicalprisonerofwar @dylciapagan who spent 20 years in prison trying to #FreePuertoRico from #US #colonialism The concept is based on the idea of putting an item on #layaway and that Puerto Rico as a colony of the US since 1898 has been put on layaway and we as Puerto Ricans keep making payments for our freedom with oppression, imprisonment and assassinations but the price is never set and so we keep paying in some weird #TwlightZone version of #reality where we keep paying for something the US has no intention of ever letting go of… Posting this for #InternationalWomensDay and as a reminder that women like Dylcia are still with us… #vagabond https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca3HOz3Jutm/?utm_medium=tumblr
