The Hum of the Parts | May 25, 2016
In this presentation, Claire shares her studio explorations, focusing specifically on two works-in-progress. The first - A Honeycomb Journal (canvas, embroidery thread & beeswax) - uses the template of the multi-chambered honeycomb as a way to document and bring to light the happenings of our times. The second – a large-scale painting titled Song for a Unified World - draws on the map-making research of cartographer Gene Keyes and the late architect Bernard Cahill (1866 – 1944). |

Gandhi 3.0 - Bridging the Internet and the Inner-Net
Service Space founder Nipun Mehta gave a talk at Emory University that weaves stories from Gandhi's life into an illuminating take on how to live the ideal of 'change yourself, change the world' in modern times. His talk explores how our highly interconnected and technologically advanced age has the potential to make the power of love exponentially more accessible. He gives powerful examples of how the internet ignites connections, and allows us to organize online communities that in turn can reach out and transform the world in tangible ways. |

"A miracle is not the intersession of an external divine agency in violation of the laws of physics. A miracle is simply something that is impossible from an old story but possible from within a new one. It is an expansion of what is possible." Charles Eisenstein

LET MY PHOTOGRAPHS BEAR WITNESS
"Photographers go to the extreme edge of human experience to show people what's going on. Sometimes they put their lives on the line because they believe your opinions and your influence matter. They aim their pictures at your best instincts - generosity, a sense of right and wrong, the ability to identify with others, the refusal to accept the unacceptable." James Nachtwey |

"I'm looking at my hand right now as we talk. It's got a lot of wrinkles ‘cause I'm 81 years old. But it's linked to hands like this back through the ages. This hand was shaped by when it was a fin in the mother seas, where life was born. This hand is directly linked to hands that learned to reach and grasp and climb and push up on dry land and weave reeds into baskets. It has a fantastic history. Every particle and every atom in this hand goes back to the first — what Thomas Berry calls ‘the primal flaring forth,’ the beginning of space-time. We’re part of that story." Renate Hiller

When war between Israel and Iran seemed imminent, Israeli graphic designer Ronny Edry shared a poster on Facebook of himself and his daughter with a bold message: "Iranians ... we [heart] you." Other Israelis quickly created their own posters with the same message -- and Iranians responded in kind. The simple act of communication inspired surprising Facebook communities like "Israel loves Iran," "Iran loves Israel" and even "Palestine loves Israel." |
