our last hurrah

As promised…here’s what we’ve sketched out so far--
"I think we shouldn’t aim to educate but to work with the community....
“it's especially important not to close off this discussion until we've made space for other voices.”

Re-present! 
[or: Access? or Listening?]
A gallery show and intentional conversation,
hosted by the “Identity Matters” 360°.
Come and join us…

Tues, 12-9-Fri, 12/12:
our art work will be on display in the Campus Center main lounge
Noon-2 p.m. on Fri, 12/12:
the gallery will move to Rhoads Dining Hall,
to set the stage for a conversation
[about?  how specific is the topic? and who’s our audience?]
Food will be served!

Time Line for preparation:
Monday, Dec. 8: last portrait session in Kristin’s class
Tuesday, Dec. 9: install portraits and set out ‘zines
for distribution in the Campus Center main hall
Friday morning, Dec. 12: move portraits to Rhoads Dining Hall,
 and set up room for storytelling
Noon-2 p.m. Fri, Dec 12: listening to one another “represent”
[can everyone commit to being there for the full 2 hours?]
2 p.m: clean up, break down
(where/how will portraits be kept ‘til the villagers arrive on Monday?)

and mounting/protecting portaits in Campus Center--
and also pin down the schedule of how to get the ‘zine printed.

still under discussion: whether that ‘zine
will replace the final intersectional paper…

The 'Zine: Questions to Consider

- What are we including? Images of selected portraits, our own personal stories, web events, all of it?

- Once we decide on this, how/when should we send everything to Niki and Amelia? Perhaps setting a deadline would be best--Sunday?

- Do we want to use this space not just to include our own stories, but to pose questions that people might consider before attending the listening conversation event?
