I was out in the Sonoran desert last month visiting an intentional community, when Bob, one of my interviewees, offered to take us to visit this weird pit about a mile away. When we drove up, we found this. I have been holding on to this footage, waiting for the right time to show it. The Map just mentioned it and I thought some footage would be nice. Enjoy!

Shopdropping is a tactic used by artists and activists to clandestinely place altered or recreated objects into retail stores. Handmade labels were printed out for students to color, cut, and paste. The project featured real people who make the products, their name, and sometimes even a story. The intent is to reconnect the labor with the product. To shopdrop on your own, go to www.PeopleProducts123.com. There you will also find useful information on fair trade and labor rights.
