SUMMARY:Black Art Story 2020 presents “As Told” / “We Live Here”
DESCRIPTION:Black Artstory month 2020  salutes Fort Greene and Clinton Hill African-American artists and activists that creatively and courageously wielded their words in pursuit of a higher cause through the SOME WORDS festival. Programs will be held for all ages\, from art installations to oral history shares/collections… \nSome Words presents “As Told” / “We Live Here”\nOn February 22nd from 2pm-4pm\, neighborhood elders provide a different kind of history lesson by discussing their contributions to the community in these two published collections of local histories – As Told and We Live Here. This panel will be facilitated by Asea Thompson\, and functions as part of BRIC’s Stoop Share program. This discussion will be held at BRIC Media arts on 647 Fulton Street.\n \nAs Told: Brooklyn Histories (The Felt\, 2019) \nABOUT \nHow much of what was lingers below and beyond the present moment and its structures is no longer visible\, but nonetheless continues to exist in the memories of many older denizens? What is it like to carry 30\, 40\, 60+ years of local living experience? To survive the good and bad times? To have an intensely personal attachment to street-corners\, shops\, and blocks\, and to watch them dissolve and reassemble anew—over and over again? \nThis is a collection of notes\, memories\, stories\, poems\, and photographs meant to give readable texture to the experiences of some of Pratt campus’ older neighbors. Developed through 10 months of group writing workshops\, this book is a testament to the featured women’s past\, presence\, and future\, their lives in this neighborhood. \nTo make a donation and receive a copy of the book\, email info@astold.org. \nFeaturing:\nEdna H. Grant\nMarilyn Findlay\nYvonne Bodrick\nIsabella Lee\nFrancis Scott\nSeretha Winfield-Alexander\nYvonne Hall \n(In memoriam ) Darrell Robinson \nEditors: Maria G. Baker\, Luke Degnan\, Aarushi Agni\nPhotography: Samuel Herrera \nTypesetting & Cover Design: HR Hegnauer \nThe book collections have been made possible with support from the Graduate Student Engagement Fund of Pratt Institute.
