Children in Maidstone sang the Jamaican national anthem to greet me.

Our first slide deck (1975) was for international development education. It was on the New International Economic Order, discussed how existing trade rules need to change because they cancel out any “help” we give to countries we’re exploiting. The client was the Ottawa Learner Centre.

Our budget was $300. Slides were copied from local organizational libraries using borrowed equipment. Graphics were hand-drawn by the client, a former school-teacher. The production was used for years in local classrooms and church basements. Later, CIDA published a slide show covering the same topics. Their budget was $30,000.

That’s how LIQUID VISUAL fits in, and it’s made us rich in experience.
