What would it look like to get working artists\, arts administrators\, activists\, and the creative community to explore these questions? \n\n\n\nHow can the arts be used for healing and social change?How might we highlight and amplify the work of BIPOC* artists?What would it take for our community to create a resource-rich environment for artists and grow how we use arts for healing and social change?\n\n\n\nJoin Theater for the People\, Green Acre\, and Kinship on August 26-28 to delve deep into our collective wisdom and explore together the answers to these questions. You can come for one\, two\, or three days. \n\n\n\nThis will not be a traditional conference where there are panels and the audience mostly listens. There will be inspiring speakers and a range of performances and workshops\, plus many opportunities for the participants to talk with each other\, and suggest your own ideas for conversations. \n\n\n\nTogether we will: \n\n\n\nExplore the key questions of the conference through participatory dialogue and gather the wisdom of the whole groupBuild new connections and collaborationsGenerate ideas for action on how we can create a resource rich environment for the arts and BIPOC artists in Seacoast\, New England and beyondParticipate in workshops on dance\, visual arts\, poetry and more\n\n\n\nHosted by Victoria Carrington and Najee Brown\, our artistic guides will inspire us with stellar performances and stimulating engagement — Jeryl Palana Pilapil Brown (Dance & Movement)\, Diannely Antigua (Creative Writing & Poetry)\, Nailah Randell-Bellinger (Choreographer/Educator)\, Richard Haynes (Visual Artist)\, Toni Singleton (Nurse/Educator/Dancer)\, Sandi Clark Kaddy (Theater Artist)\, and Beth Tener (Conversation Host). \n\n\n\nAs an intergenerational\, multicultural community\, we will learn together what we can do to advance change.
