Dear Gwylene, It is attached and pasted below. I think attachments get

Dear folks,
A couple of people asked to see what we're doing in Charlotte and
Charleston, since those are the first two learning exchanges for the
Gathering at the Crossroads of Community, Art and Activism. I have attached
the invitation we've been emailing, along with Carlton's beautiful flyer, to
people in the Charlotte area. If you have any contacts in the mountains or
foothills of NC or SC, please pass the invitation and flyer on to them,
thank you!
Also, feel free to use whatever looks useful for your event.
I will also send a copy of the Charlotte agenda, after I hear back from my
team and revise it. The plan is in response to what people who have
indicated that they will come have said they want. It also is about
forwarding what we understand to be ROOTS' goals for the learning exchanges.
Dear artist, activist, organizer, arts administrator,
I'd like to invite you to the:
Gathering at the Crossroads of Art, Community, and Activism,
in Charlotte, NC,
on Friday and Saturday, June 6 & 7,
sponsored by Alternate ROOTS.
We will listen, share fellowship, tell stories, eat, engage in activities
and learn from each others' experience in creating art for social change and
working as artist-activists with and in communities.
On Friday evening, June 6, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM, we will host a listening
exchange to find out what the needs and resources of local community-based
artists and artist-activists are at this moment, and to see how Alternate
ROOTS might address some of these needs and support the resources in the
future.
On Saturday, June 7, from 10:00 to 4:00, we will lead a dialogue and
learning exchange among artist-activists, community-based artists, and
community partners about creating art in and with communities and creating
art for social change. We will serve a box lunch, for which we would like a
$10.00 voluntary donation.
The listening session, dialogue and activities will be facilitated by
members of Alternate ROOTS' Resources for Social Change. Alternate ROOTS is
an organization, based in the Southeast, of artists who work for social
change in and with communities. ROOTS provides matching funding for
Community-Artist Partnership Projects. We will provide information about
ROOTS funding opportunities, including the Community-Artist Partnership
Projects and the Tour Program. And we will invite you to the Alternate ROOTS
Annual Meeting, where you can become a member and be eligible for ROOTS
funding. For more information about Alternate ROOTS, go to:
www.alternateroots.org <http://www.alternateroots.org/>
Depending on your interest, some questions we may address at the Gathering
are:
* How do we effect transformation through community artmaking?
* What is the change we want to make?
* How do we become aware of the power relationships when we work
with/in a community?
* How do we build trust and forge equitable partnerships with our
community colleagues?
* How do we structure programs and organizations so that power in the
relationships between artists and community and organizers is inherently
shared?
* What kinds of dialogues do we engage our community partners in, and
to what purpose?
* Can we imagine an aesthetic that values beauty and justice equally?
* Who else in our community is engaged in community-based art-making
for progressive social change? How can we support each other in this work?
* How can we get funding for this work?
The Gathering will take place at
The International House,
322 Hawthorne Lane,
Charlotte, NC, 28204,
(704)333-8099
There is a free parking lot onsite.
