'Community arts became my initial quest in the 1980’s as a reaction against the commercial art world. How can art participate in a functional way to connect not just art educated people, but our overall communities on issues affecting them that have meaning and purpose. Can we just speak about these issues or can we actually have it be transformative in some way to actually lead to some kind of social or policy change within?the community by bringing people together and getting them working together.' Felicia Young runs Earth Celebrations, a non-profit organization engaging communities to effect ecological and social change through the arts. Felicia has developed a methodology utilizing the arts and the theatrical pageant art form,?form of street art - along with civic engagement and activism. She’s a 3rd generation New Yorker, with deep roots in the City of New York, as well as much inspiration from the festivals, ceremonies, and mythic dramas from her mother’s native land of India. Now I’ve never met Felicia in person but I know about her work through years of viewing social media such as the YouTube video Celebrations Director Felicia Young - 30 Years of Cultural Organizing for Ecological Changem which is linked in the episode notes. I was moved by Felicia’s response to a question I ask all of my guests about how to prepare for the end of the world as we know it and in particular the issue of doom and gloom and defeatism: 'I don't just see it as doom and gloom because I have been directly involved in 30 years of local people who've just moved forward with implementing these solutions without waiting for the government … My involvement has always been at the grassroots level. And on that, I'm encouraged, but where I'm afraid is the overall political system where we see our elected officials owned by the industries that are doing all of the polluting and controlling the bigger picture, but are we just going to be paralyzed because they're doing the wrong thing and not go ahead with what we know is right?' This is the first in a series of conversations about one of my favorite art forms and one which I think will be especially important and useful in the future : community engaged arts Felicia suggested the following reading and listening materials : Center for Artistic Activism resources William Cleveland’s podcast on community engagement and the arts ?eco art space publications ?Artists and Climate Change facebook page

Generative art refers to rules-based systems where the artists relinquishes some form of control over the final output, despite designing its creation. Some generative art is code-based, like that of today's masters Iskra Velitchkova and Fingacode. Other generative art can be performance and choreographic in nature, such as that pioneered by Operator. I also believe that reading is a generative process because the writer does not control how their words will be interpreted by a reader. Indeed, the reader may not always control how they engage with a text--so much depends on personal history and circumstantial context. The session, along with other conversations from Digital Art Day, are available to view via link below. The accompanying charitable sale of generative wine/art labels will be live through September 22 on MakersPlace. https://lnkd.in/dEfpJWVJ

?? Jean-Michel Basquiat: Revolutionizing Art & Society ?? Jean-Michel Basquiat wasn't just an artist; he was a force that challenged and reshaped our understanding of art's power. Through his bold strokes and raw, emotive symbols, Basquiat tackled themes of race, inequality, and identity, firmly establishing himself as a pivotal figure in neo-expressionism. ?? A Legacy Beyond the Canvas ?? Basquiat's work, a vibrant fusion of graffiti and fine art, invites us to reflect on societal structures and the role of art in advocating change. His legacy is a testament to the enduring power of art to question, to provoke, and to inspire. ? As we remember Basquiat today, let's carry forward his courage to explore, challenge, and transform.
