Bearing Witness and Enhancing Knowledge

Friend, "Cheli" with Kings Bay Plowshares 7 activist, Clare Grady and bill berry, jr., vice chair, Harriet Tubman Center for Justice and Peace and CEO/publisher, aaduna, at Clare's talk St. Ann's Church, Owasco NY, July 25, 2019

I suspect there is a critical nexus in what creatives seek to achieve and the agendas of political activists who are invariably seeking a basic societal change that crosses cultural, economic, gender or other artificially constructed barriers. And do creatives seek the same thing? I think so.

As I analyze this situation, it is somewhat apparent that both groups seek to enrich humanness while broadening the scope of understanding and deciphering human emotions and more importantly, how we perceive the world around us. 

The way each group approaches change and emboldening the human spirit are different to be sure. However, I propose that the core differences, the essence of the desire to expand knowledge and how the world is seen and experienced are too similar to ignore. And we know based on reality, that both cohorts are often ridiculed, scorned, and subject to adverse responses from some segments of society.

An earlier blog presented information about nuclear protester Clare Grady. What we are presenting in this blog is the follow-up where bill berry, jr., the Harriet Tubman Center for Justice and Peace, Inc. Vice-Chair & aaduna’s publisher, and Lisa Brennan, HTCJP Secretary & aaduna visual arts editor attended her presentation in Owasco, NY on Wednesday, July 25th. 

We act to what we say.

On a different note…
