Along the lines of what Velina is saying? When do men decide that they want to grow and learn about how to treat women? And that seems to be what Velina is emphasizing...Take responsibility to learn about black lives and how we can integrate within ourselves the truth of things. 13:54:39 From Laura Baring-Gould to Everyone: Thank You all for saying this. 13:55:23 From Dellis Frank to Everyone: Good question Christine! 13:56:05 From Rachel Messerich, ACC (she/her) to Everyone: Question #1 Timing Update: 2 mins. 13:56:38 From Caroline Kipp to Everyone: To Aram’s statements, this is something some orgs are finally reflecting on - white gatekeeping of legitimization of knowledge via publications, symposia, etc and figuring out a new path forward 13:59:43 From Carol Ventura to Everyone: Thank you so much for such insightful presentations! I need to go now, but look forward to seeing the recorded version. 14:00:04 From Indira (they/them) to Everyone: Christine, thank you for your question (I used to work as a domestic violence counselor prior to becoming an artist professionally, so I want to honor your survival and courage) I personally think that all relationships are educational experiences - we teach people what we want and what we don’t want (or won’t put up with) but it is on all of us to be humble/curious enough to understand what privileges we have in society and how these privileges can be used to help or to harm 14:00:13 From Rachel Messerich, ACC (she/her) to Everyone: Question #2 (thanks, Rachael) Can you talk about how the publication suited your craft topic and what kind of reader, in an increasingly diverse craft community, you hoped to reach? Feel free to talk about how easy, or hard, it may have been to get your article published, or if you tried different kinds of publications before you found the right match. 14:05:28 From Christine to Everyone: Indira, thanks for your reply. That is something to contemplate, what privileges do we have in society and how am I, are we using them... There is always more to learn. 14:10:16 From Vicki Clough to Everyone: Thank you all for your generosity. This is such a wonderful opportunity to hear more about your work. 14:14:18 From Rachel Messerich, ACC (she/her) to Everyone: Question/Thought Experiment #3 (thanks, Indira) Can you - in real time in the next 12-15 minutes - to begin to extrapolate from your unique knowledge bases a policy proposal to address some aspect of nationwide poverty or the emotional and psychological states associated with it. Think out loud. This policy proposal must somehow reflect a knowledge of craft based methodologies and processes. 14:14:26 From Caroline Kipp to Everyone: Basic universal income! 14:15:43 From Caroline Kipp to Everyone: Working collectively on projects / ventures - and everyone involved getting credit instead of only folks at the top - Aram’s collective work is a great example of this 14:16:06 From Vicki Clough to Everyone: Local skills-sharing hubs and studios (run by local artists) with connections to local schools, gov. funded… opens up new networks of connection and communities of practice. 14:16:09 From John Dittmeier, ABANA to Everyone: Paid apprenticeships in the industrial trades, building arts, and traditional crafts. 14:16:19 From Caroline Kipp to Everyone: Make art practice not a privilege 14:17:45 From Astrid Zwick to Everyone: go with a sack of clay to a poor neighborhood and set up a table and invite the children to make an object 14:18:03 From Maegen Black to Everyone: Here in Canada, specifically in Quebec, there is a program where doctors can prescribe visits to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, including free passes, to help reduce stress and "boost mood, improve wellbeing, and give patients a chance to explore experiences and senses outside of their illness." 14:19:12 From Angella Kocian to Everyone: Thank you all for your words, I have to go, but I will watch the recording later. Thank you. 14:19:25 From Rachel Messerich, ACC (she/her) to Aram Han Sifuentes (she/they)(Direct Message): Aram, I know you have to bug out in a few minutes. But when you need to go, feel free to bow out. We might continue a bit longer. If I don't have a chance to say so to you directly, it was a pleasure to work with you and thanks so much for your work and for participating in this program and conversation! 14:19:30 From Hilary’s iPad to Everyone: In San Francisco, there are several programs that appeal to me. 14:19:49 From Mel Co (she/her) to Everyone: Here in Canada, we have many cooperatives connected to arts and other ways of showing community-based care. Removing eligibility standards that in truth, signify that only “certain” kinds of people can apply for an internship, fellowship, grant, etc. Understand that an arts practice can start at any age and be in any form. 14:20:21 From Aram Han Sifuentes (she/they) to Rachel Messerich, ACC (she/her)(Direct Message): Tell everyone I said thank you! 14:20:33 From Rachel Messerich, ACC (she/her) to Aram Han Sifuentes (she/they)(Direct Message): I will! 14:20:43 From Samantha De Tillio to Everyone: Redefine education to include life skills, particularly regenerative practices relevant to bioregions, so people become more self sufficient and devested from large systems and the "money economy." These practices can be collaborative in terms of eco-communities or worker coop style orgs. 14:21:03 From Hilary’s iPad to Everyone: One is an intergenerational projects with young children and seniors in neglected communities to share dances, music, art, stories and interviews. The program is run by William Rhodes. 14:21:35 From Irma Bijou to Everyone: Public education accessible to everyone in the USA, is a clear answer to democracy. In California, you don’t even have to show papers to have access to school. 14:22:08 From Heather Beffa, CERF+ (she/her) to Everyone: Protect the environment from major industry 14:22:11 From Aram Han Sifuentes (she/they) to Everyone: Citizenship For ALL! Voting rights for ALL! 14:22:26 From Astrid Zwick to Everyone: Here in Switzerland we are struggling to make big cooperations like Apple, Google, Amazon to pay taxes like you have to pay as the micro Businesses have to 14:22:28 From Hilary’s iPad to Everyone: An additional program has children design for community projects that will decorate public spaces. Artists of all backgrounds help install the work. 14:22:30 From Mel Co (she/her) to Everyone: I’m in Quebec as well! 14:22:55 From Christine to Everyone: Yes, provide for basic needs (socialism?) Once people move out of survival mode, their creative energies can be applied to the circumstances of their lives. 14:23:15 From Rachel Messerich, ACC (she/her) to Everyone: Thanks to Aram for her participation! She had to bug out a little early due to a previous appointment. 14:23:43 From Astrid Zwick to Everyone: With better distribution of taxes, the money could be used for more humanitarian projects like good schools for everybody 14:24:06 From verakaminski to Everyone: Besides recording this presentation can there be a transcript of comments. 14:24:44 From Rachel Messerich, ACC (she/her) to Everyone: We'll definitely save and share the comments!
