This workshop is geared towards raising awareness and encouraging conversation of not just the Black identity, but the ways in which the perception and creation of "race" varies in different global communities.]]> 2022-05-24 01:13:04 UTC https://padlet.com/fea2117/rts49kqduxp662qe/wish/2196727986 supplemental video to watch fea2117 https://padlet.com/fea2117/rts49kqduxp662qe/wish/2196729412 2022-05-24 01:14:06 UTC https://padlet.com/fea2117/rts49kqduxp662qe/wish/2196729412 Discussion questions fea2117 https://padlet.com/fea2117/rts49kqduxp662qe/wish/2196737654 Preface: As a Black woman, my project is centering the Black identity. However, I would like this to be a space for an exploration of identity, even if it is not a Black one! So, when I bring these questions to the table if you feel like your lived experiences relate in another way (culturally, gender and sexuality-rooted identities, socioeconomically, etc.) feel free to speak up and share!

1. Going around the room and stating what country you're from/in what word what "race" means to you?
2. There is not a French equivalent for the word "Blackness", a single encapsulating word for the social and cultural experience of Black people in the country. I'm new to this program and to Paris so for those who have been here longer, what about French culture makes this the case in your opinion?
3. Blackness in America has as much to do with trauma as it does with the positive results of Black culture, from music to clothing and slang, etc. Is there space for that in a country with a much different racial history than that of the united states? must there be?]]> 2022-05-24 01:20:07 UTC https://padlet.com/fea2117/rts49kqduxp662qe/wish/2196737654 readings I would like to pull from fea2117 https://padlet.com/fea2117/rts49kqduxp662qe/wish/2196744891 Keaton, Trica. “Race.” Keywords for African American Studies.

- the idea of art as a means of expression is something I'm interested in, especially as a way to deal with overcoming or healing from trauma. home is something that may evoke complicated feelings in our beneficiaries and i want this dance to be a way to explore their home for all the good, not just the dangers or reasons they had to flee.

I was co-director and dance instructor, and she was the director and head of the stringed instruments program. The camp was centered around women's empowerment and bringing the arts to girls without access. I gained experience in coordination with speakers as well as teaching experience, which led to my working at a sleepaway camp for 8 weeks as a counselor and dance instructor for girls between the ages of 6-15. While I am only in Paris for 6 weeks, I would love to train interested long-term volunteers in a program that could lead to a lasting arts initiative with Serve the City. I can work with people in establishing a plan for choreographing routines as well as working with different age groups through workshops, and coordinate with my aunt to discuss plans for grant-writing as well as working with other NGOs in the city to fund things like instruments and dance shoes. I can also discuss ways to ensure longevity of the program such as social media outreach, coordination with people without consistent access to phones or transportation, etc.

things I would need:
- access to zoom pro account]]> 2022-05-24 01:36:48 UTC https://padlet.com/fea2117/rts49kqduxp662qe/wish/2196761093 other ideas fea2117 https://padlet.com/fea2117/rts49kqduxp662qe/wish/2196767130 - depending on the consistency of seeing people on a weekly basis, an arts project in which people can sit (can be in a park or indoor space if available) and work on poetry and written work as well as paint or draw with a weekly given prompt (home, love, identity, memories, etc.) with a space for an in-person or virtual exhibition (art can be scanned and put into a Zine and I have some background in graphic design as well)
