Are you covering local issues like the Union Pier development?
I am presently working on a years-long art in/with community project called (for now) "A Tale of Charleston for Reparations".
In parallel, I am a member of the Union Pier community advisory council and remain very skeptical about the genuineness of the effort to open up the design process, moreover since the land is being bought by a local developer.
Coming to you to find out if CULTURE SOUTH could be a hub around the issue and , if not, if you have any idea about the subject!
It took me a while to reply and then, to understand the thread and post procedures. Sorry!
What I meant to tell you the other day was that I am not optimistic about the way the Charleston citizenry will be asked to participate in, much less to approve, the plan for the development of the Union Pier real estate.
As an in/with community artist, member of TINYisPOWERFUL, my interest is in seeing and evaluating the way the city of Charleston represents and works for its constituents. It is political. And so is the Installation "a Tale for Reparations" I am still working on.
I understand that CultureSouth is staying away from the political but Gwylène and I would still like to keep in touch with you and Scott and abreast of the cultural affairs of the city..
Can we imagine having a drink at our place one of these -not too distant- days?
Great to hear from you, Jean-Marie. To clarify: Culture South will cover anything that explores life in this region via arts and culture, including ideas that involve politics. Would love to talk more and will be in touch. All best, Maura
Looking forward to the Culture South ramp-up!!
And it's happening! Thanks for the encouragement, Elliott!
