Revolution in 1

October 2012 - The Red Room, NYC

Revolution in 1 explores the relationship between the two definitions of the word revolution: revolt and revolve. How and why do individuals take a stand? What was the Summer, Fall and Winter before Arab Spring? What are the eventual, and potentially inevitable, outcomes of this constant cycle of revolution?
