    logo_buildingbridgesSedona AZ (March 8, 2016) – Building Bridges Event Series will be hosting a Student Art Exhibition and Teen Discussion Panel, this Tuesday March 15th , starting at 5pm.  The event will take place at Sedona Posse Grounds Hub,  525 Posse Grounds Road in Sedona.   

    The exhibit will feature both visual and performance work from students attending schools in the Verde Valley.  The theme, “What does it mean to be a living bridge?” is part of the greater Building Bridges Art exhibit going on at the Hub throughout the month of March.  Building Bridges events series is a month-long event series running March 3rd -29th,  bringing together inspiring speakers, performances, workshops,  and exhibits in order to empower community involvement and engagement through empathy, awareness, art and action. 

    20160308_Wise_Marie-Thinking-Outside-the-BoxThe Teen Panel discussion to follow the Art Exhibition is also part of the event series, and Sedona International City of Peace Panel Series, a weekly discussion panel bringing topics like “The marriage of empathy & education” and “Media’s role in polarizing global Culture” to the table with different distinguished panel speakers each week.  This week the Teen Panel  will feature students from Red Rock High School, Verde Valley School, and Southwestern Academy.  The discussion is on “What matters in this shifting world of academic education.”  Students will have an opportunity to speak about what matters most to them in their school career, and what they think about current curriculum standards.  There will be smaller breakout sessions after the panel to give the audience a chance to discuss the topic together with the panelists.  This is an all-ages event, free of charge.

    Marie, Thinking Outside the Box

    This is a painting about connection.
    I wear a bracelet made by a woman in Rwanda
    Her name is Marie—I do not know her full name.
    We have never looked eye to eye, and yet
    when I slip this work of art over my wrist, I
    feel a connection to her half way around the world.
    The profits from this help her buy medicine for her
    self and her child with Aids
    The image to the left is a DNA double helix to
    remind me that we live in one world..I in my studio,
    and she in her own home . In a world of great diversity,
    I pause to remember that we share more than we imagine.
    I hope my support is a bridge to a better life for her.
    She is my bridge to courage in the day to day events
    that may appear on my path.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
