Cycle Powered Cinema [[Hariyo Chowk Wrap-Up! [Part 1 of 3]]

Hariyo Chowk will be completely constructed by March 16 and we need your help finishing this green square we’ve grown together!

To wrap-up we will be having three 4-day work weeks. Come have fun, learn something, work on a project that will be used for years to come.

Part 1
Cycle Powered Cinema- workshop and film screening
February 7-10
Help us transform a bicycle into an human-powered, electricity-generating machine in the course of four days. We will be pedaling enough power into a generator to project a film on the last night of work. This bicycle will help us project films in the future, in a way that is sustainable and demonstrates a form of DIY power and recycling. Say no to load shedding and YES to human power!!
