Part of my ministry is in support of efforts to bring about dialogue centered in Peacemaking. In January-I collaborated with Kira and Lisa in making these posts that will travel throughout the US. We had a Hispanic community-social justice educators-One Billion Rising participants-a GLBTQ community all making posts....we drew people from schools, universities and justice organizations. The diversity of focus was incredible. I brought the one we will leave at the Center for Civil and Human Rights to the Annual Meeting....
Art
is a great way to draw folks together who would not ordinarily come to
meetings...I highly recommend this activity. Contact Kira for more
information.

The Posts
for Peace & Justice Workshop, at the International Child Art Festival
July 2, 10am to 4pm, encourages collaborative creative imaging of peace and
social justice on 8-foot posts, that will travel and show in the USA to inspire
others to speak up.
Students
trace their hands, add names and paint inspiring words and symbolic images onto
posts at the festival. Kira Carrillo Corser teaches the class with Lisa Parsons and ten
artists including my facebook friends: Ellen Martin, Carla Baldassari, Jennifer Colby, Diane Dougherty, coming
to help! Students, teachers and family members are encouraged to paint and we
will record video stories.
Students
will also paint small solar lights to take home so they can make posts in their
communities. Students and families are invited to a reception on Capitol Hill,
at the Corner Store Art Center, at 900 South Carolina Ave, SE in Washington, DC
on July 2nd, 7pm to 9pm where they will get refreshments and a photo of
themselves with the painted post to take home. Post your photos and see other
student's photos on our facebook page:
