SUNY FARMINGDALE’S VISITING WRITERS PROGRAM
Ward Hall Great Room
Farmingdale, Long Island
Coordinators: William Austin & Margery Brown
Here’s a message from Rebecca Moore the co-curator of an event I’m involved with happening this Friday night. Hope you can make it:
Hello Friends…
I co-curate this event with the amazing souls at Issue Project Room.
We are already declaring it a tradition! Cause we know we must keep highlighting songs of rebellion and uprising and protest… must keep encouraging those songs to be written, make a place for those songs to be continually sung, support the artists who sing them, and bring people together to hear them. New ones, old ones – we want to hear all of them.
We use the term “song” loosely and abstractly… the evening is part musicians and singers, but also part film (visual songs, in my book) and part spoken word (songs of the heart and soul). We have to keep each other buoyed up between rallies, marches, and administrations… so you can keep your heart strong and chin up. The artists can come with just about anything related to a person standing up against status quo – it can even be about rebelling against rebelling – - as long as we have on display all the beautiful moxie people can be made up of.
please come hang – get your ire up and your game on…
Friday, June 9, 2006 – At ISSUE PROJECT ROOM
